Sovereign Hill
Weed Walks

Sprwinter is springing!


I'm out of my winter hibernation and ready to forage my way around Sovereign Hill in Ballarat.


Join me on a walk through the cottage gardens and laneways of Sovereign Hill, searching for my favourite medicinal herbs and weedy friends. We’ll chat about their use in days of yore and how you can include them in your daily life. Along the way we'll gather up a foraged cuppa and finish up with a botanical infused snack.
