The workshop will take place from 28th June – 3rd July 2025.
During the 6-day workshop, students will have the opportunity to collect the herbs growing on and surrounding areas of Borgo Santo Pietro and familiarise themselves with the herbs in person.
“The course was immensely insightful and detailed. I loved discovering that I have a pharmacy in my back yard, now that I know how to use all the plants that have been right outside my door. The expertise and vast knowledge of Anne McIntyre was reassuring and opened up a whole new world, the beautiful surroundings immersed in nature, and all the concoctions we made also made this an outstanding experience that my life will surely benefit from in the future.” – Tina F.
“I have truly enjoyed this wonderful course and learned so much in just a few days! The complexity of the course, the beautiful location at the Borgo estate, the hands on approach, plus the professionalism and kindness of the staff made it a useful and lovely experience all around! I am especially grateful for Mrs. Anne’s guidance (our course instructor), it’s been an honor to learn from her!” – Maria C. M.
