Seasonal Living with Becky Cole
My Book, The Garden Apothecary
The Garden Apothecary is my first book, published with Hardie Grant. When I initially brewed up the idea for this book I had a vision of enabling people to create their own abundant home apothecaries, filling kitchen shelves with jars of powerful herbs using plants grown in their gardens, wild spaces or window boxes. From aromatic teas to potent tinctures I’ve covered a wide array of herbalist techniques alongside my favourite cornerstone recipes that will create the backbone of your herbal apothecary and can be adapted with the ebb and flow of the seasons.
Welcome!
I’m Becky.
I am a folk herbalist, gardener, artist and farmer based here on my sustainable farm on the wild coast of Northern Ireland.
I have been a contributor to the gardening section of the Vanessa Feltz show on BBC radio 2 for over 4 years, featured in publications such as The Sunday Time & Country Living magazine and recently had my first book published.
Nature connection, rewilding and folk herbalism is a large part of my daily practice. I teach workshops, in person & online, about foraging, seasonal herbalism, botanical beauty & healing the land by increasing biodiversity through regenerative & permacultural practices.
Upcoming & Current Workshops
I teach in person workshops at Broughgammon Farm, our regenerative and sustainable farm located on the beautiful and wild north coast of Ireland. I also teach monthly online workshops throughout the year in my Rooted Membership.
