Workshops at FarmacyCo

FarmacyCo workshops are designed to help you reconnect with the plants around you and build practical skills you can use at home.

Set amongst the gardens in Eldorado, our hands-on workshops explore growing, harvesting and using plants for food and medicine. From medicinal herb gardening and herbal preparations to essential oil distillation, seasonal living and traditional skills, each workshop combines practical knowledge with real-world experience.

You’ll learn by doing, ask questions, share ideas and take home the confidence to continue your journey long after the day is over.

Whether you’re taking your first steps into herbal medicine, expanding your gardening knowledge or simply looking for a deeper connection to the natural world, you’ll find a welcoming place to learn, create and grow.

Grow. Harvest. Learn.
