Britten’s Botanicals is dedicated to learning about local plants, how to treat them with respect and get to know their stories and uses, and how to preserve and incorporate them into our lives and diet. All of us deserve to get closer to nature and see the positive effects it has on our wellbeing. Workshops are led by Aleksandra who learnt first-hand how to rely on homegrown preserves and remedies and then travelled extensively gathering wisdom along the way.
