Foraging and Natural Medicine

Enjoy a morning of foraging as well as creating a simple tincture with Master Herbalist Julie Bruton-Seal and her husband Matthew Seal. Learn about the delights of edible and medicinal plants that can be found in the hedgerows and woods of Kettlestone House in the Autumn.

Seasonal food wil be served in The Nest at lunchtime, much of it sourced from The Nurture Project's walled kitchen garden.

The day will finish with a Q&A led by Julie and Matthew. A handout will also be available detailing Autumn foraged plants that can be used in cooking and /or for medicinal purposes.

Julie is a qualified naturopathic herbalist, and is a Fellow of the Association of Master Herbalists (AMH). She was editor of the quarterly magazine, Nature’s Path, now The Herbalist, and was also one of the founding organisers of HerbFest, an annual gathering celebrating healing plants and herbal medicine.

Julie is also an artist, photographer, film-maker, graphic designer, writer and silver jeweller. She co-authored the vegetarian cookbook Vegetarian Masterpieces.

She illustrated the children’s book When Elephant Was King.

Matthew grew up in a family of gardeners and botanists and, while not following in their footsepts into professional gardening or horticulture, he has never forgotten this early ‘greening’. Since the 1970s Matthew has worked as an editor and writer in books, magazines and newspapers, in both the UK and South Africa.
