Join tutor Anastasia Demetriou for a study of a range of plants found in UK gardens and homes that can be used for natural skin care. In this workshop you will learn about a number of plants that can be used in natural skincare, and their place in folklore and history.
This includes: Calendula, a flower with a long history of being used to create natural skincare products; Equisetum, a plant many would consider a weed; and scented Roses, loved by many gardeners.
On this workshop you will:
- See and learn to identify a range of plants that can be used for natural skin care growing at RHS Garden Bridgewater
- Harvest and prepare some plants for use in natural skin care at home
- Infuse flowers in oil infused to make a lip balm to take away
- Make a natural nail strengthener with common plants from the garden
- Prepare a facial spritz for a natural uplift every day.
You will leave this workshop with lots of tips and ideas on how to have a more natural skin care regime.
Tea and coffee will be available throughout the workshop. The workshop includes garden entry.
Tutor: Anastasia Demetriou, Horticultural Educator
