Call of the wild courses

The courses will be delivered by Hamish Martin a SSSI custodian and wild habitat conservationist. Hamish’s own journey has always involved nature-first practices, with no harmful interventions whatsoever, and only his deepest sense of respectful communion with the earth, its inhabitant creatures and the plants, which he actively nurtures and holistically works alongside. His knowledge and raised awareness in this area was instilled by his own early studies under the spiritual guidance of shamans of the indigenous cultures of both North America and South Africa. Hamish also holds a RBGE Diploma in Herbology and brings his very own special blend of communication, enthusiasm, passion.

Come and join him on one of his short courses to be introduced into the ‘Wilder’ plants and all the wonder they hold.
