“When in doubt, use nettles.” — David Hoffmann
And honestly… he’s not wrong.

This month at Herb Folk, we’re diving deep into one of the true powerhouses of the herbal world: Nettles!

They’re bold, they’re nourishing, and they’ve been a herbalist favourite for generations.

Our special guest is Alyson Maier — naturopath and author of a beautiful new kids’ herbal book — and she’s bringing all her nettle magic to share with us. Together, we’ll explore:

🌿 Nettle’s rich history + folklore
🌿 Herbal actions + energetics
🌿 Growing, harvesting + wildcrafting tips
🌿 How to use nettles as both food and medicine
🌿 Hands-on herbal prep and safety 

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Herb Folk session without getting our hands in it! We’ll make a warming forager’s nettle soup, and while it’s bubbling away, we’ll make a gorgeous nettle + rosemary hair oil you can make at home.

To top it off, Alyson will give a live reading of her newly released kids’ herbal book on Nettles — which is now on sale!

Learning herbs one by one is such an important part of learning so you can really develop a deep understanding and relationship with each herb. 

and our Herb Folk workshops aren’t just about learning herbs, but about filling our cups spending time with our heart-led herbal community! Come laugh, learn and feel inspired about life again!
