Lindley Late - Healing Hands: Botanical Hand Cream Workshop

Winter can be harsh on hands, but nature has its remedies. Join the RHS Lindley Library and aromatherapist Tanya Moulding as we learn simple botanical skincare tips and craft our own hand cream.

First, uncover the plants professed to hold healing properties with a tour of the Library's collection of historic herbals dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Then, harness the therapeutic properties of plants and essential oils to blend and create a soothing hand cream infused with your chosen natural scents.

RHS membership not required. Spaces on this workshop are limited, and tickets must be purchased in advance of the event.
