"When the dreaded lurgy heads for your house, and the kids start sniffling, coughing, and sneezing, do you reach straight for the medicine cabinet? Or do you, instead, take a wander down the garden path, picking plants and leaves as you go, to make up a brew?
Morag Gamble from Our Permaculture Life would probably choose the latter option, and she joins us tonight to tell us why!"
Now that I've recovered from the 'lurgy', I've had a wonderful couple of days offering tours of my garden and organising a Young Ethos Scholars program - a masterclass for children in writing and theatre with a sustainability focus. I'm getting ready now for a workshop making salves and other natural healing and beauty products from my garden. It's going to be so much fun.
