HERBAL WALK · WORKSHOP · LUNCH

The Ceratonia Experience

7 NOVEMBER 2026
29 MAY 2027

10:00 - 14:30
€50

The morning begins with a guided walk of the gardens with Daisy. She will teach about the medicines of the trees, plants and foods at Ceratonia, based on her extensive clinical knowledge and deep personal relationship with the plants she grows.

After the walk, we come together for a Tea Sensing workshop, Daisy's most simple yet profound way of connecting with a plant. Sitting with our cup of herbal infusion, we slow down enough to really notice: the smell, the taste, the way the body responds, the shift in how we feel. It is here that the walk's learning moves from knowledge into experience, grounding what we have gathered about a plant's healing qualities in something felt, not just understood.

The session ends with a vegetarian buffet lunch prepared by our chef Corey, using seasonal, local ingredients.

Includes a delicious vegetarian lunch, a bag of Ceratonia’s dried herbal tea to take home, and a digital handout on Tea Sensing.
