Steyning Holistic Fair November 20th 2010

As soon as we walked into the village hall hosting the holistic fair, we felt a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. This heralded the beginning of a most enjoyable day. We were inundated on the stall with people interested in herbs and gave out lots of advice on herbs and their uses.
Andrea's talk 'The Art of Healing with Herbs' was very well received and many of the people who attended came to talk with us afterwards. There was lots of laughter, good cheer and David particularly enjoyed a joke with some good humoured ladies!
We met a number of simply lovely people and had an absolute blast on the day.
We extend our grateful thanks to Ann-Marie for hosting a successful event and look forward to seeing you all again at the next event held in April.

Hove Holistic Fair September 26th 2010

The largest Holistic Fair in the South of England with stalls and therapists spread over three floors within the cavernous Hove Town Hall.

WIllow Herbal held a stall in the Great Hall on the first floor. Many different therapy taster sessions were on offer, from remedial massage to Reiki and Pyramid Healing!

We offered free tasters of three of our tea blends. As always, the Nutritional blend got a firm thumbs up and the D-Tox blend also had a number of new fans who liked the spicy flavour.

High Beeches Wild Flower Weekend June 26th 2010

On a baking hot day in June we spent a lovely day at High Beeches Gardens near Horsham, West Sussex. The gardens held a special day to celebrate the rich diversity of plants and wildlife in the beautifully unspoilt wildflower meadow and grounds.

Willow Herbal Clinic held a stall along with the RSPB, bee, moth and wildflower experts and Andrea offered herb walks.

It was like spending a day in the Garden of Eden - simply beautiful !
There were mixed reactions to the tincture tasting on offer, although I'm sure I spotted some people 'testing ' more than once !

The herb walk was well received, with accolades mentioned such as 'brilliant' and 'fascinating' All I can say is that it was an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to introducing more people to the captivating world of Herbalism next year !
