The Organic Centre Herbs and Health Day
Herb Day with Judith Hoad – at The Organic Centre,
Rossinver, Co. Leitrim on Sunday 17th June 11am -5pm
The term “Herb” covers many different plants from several botanical families.
Herbs relate to health, their aroma delights the senses, they are rich in vitamins, minerals and natural antibiotics, they aid digestion, strengthen the immune system and support the innate healing process.
Staff, students and lecturers of the centre will present talks, walks and demonstrations and explore the health benefits of herbs. We will officially open our new mint spiral and open air tea-bar with a selection of 32 mints.
Our guest speaker this year is Judith Hoad, honorary member of the Irish Association of Medical Herbalists, who has widely written on herbs and herbal remedies. She will talk about ‘Eating your way around the weed patch’.
The Grass Roof Café will be open with herbal dishes and entrance fee is €5.
“I hope that exploring the plant life around the fields, city parks, cottage gardens or window-boxes amongst which you live will enrich your life, as it has enriched mine.”
(Judith Hoad)
We invite herbalist, alternative practitioners, who use herbs and their associations to have a stall on the day and inform our visitors and the public about their work.
