Join local herbalist Mandy Rickard for a hands-on Distillation Workshop and discover the art of turning lavender into essential oil and hydrosol. During this workshop, you will learn how to harvest lavender, carefully bud the flowers from the stems and set up your still for the distillation process.
Experience the full journey – from picking the fragrant buds to distilling with a traditional copper still and finally bottling your creations. By the end of the workshop, you'll take home the essential oil and hydrosol you made yourself.
This beautiful purple plant isn't just lovely – it's packed with powerful benefits and this workshop lets you explore every step of its transformation.
£55.00 per person.
