This is my poster for my latest herb walks. The first on friday morning, this week, will be a very leisurely stroll around the Railway land, mindful that there may be mothers with toddlers there at that time of day. It is important to point out that as the Railway land is a nature reserve, no plants can be picked on it. You will find out on the walk however that powerful medicinal plants grow everywhere; often insignificant looking , they are outside your front door, often growing in the cracks of your door step. Look at the weeds today growing right outside your front door. You may recognise them, they may be something that could benefit your health; dandelions, cleavers- creeping up other plants, plaintain, and nettles. They grow everywhere in such abundance that we can often overlook their wonderful healing potential, and look further afield for rarer and more exotic plants. The next two herb walks are on Sunday afternoons; on the 23rd we will be exploring the rich habitat of the chalk downs to the west of Lewes. Meeting by the Neville allotments, we will explore above the chalk pits, again this is more an exploration of local flora than a ramble, so all fitness levels are welcome.
