The Essential Garden's Herbal Skincare workshop highlights the medicinal properties of various herbs and plants. The workshop is a fun and educational day and no prior experience is required. We have a display herb garden where you can pick herbs, smell their fragrance and harvest some for our herbal tea. In the Studio, we guide you through the different blends of essential oils and which combinations of different fragrant notes go well together. Product options include a room freshener made from a selection of essential oils of your choice or a natural insect repellent made with a prescribed set of essential oils. After a light lunch, you make a base cream where you select your own carrier oils and essential oils. Skincare options include a moisturising cream, body butter or a soothing anti-itch cream, useful for insect bites and stings. Cost includes all ingredients, labels, containers and a light lunch. Workshops cost $110 per person. Here's what people are saying about our workshops: Thanks Fe and Al at the Essential Garden for an outstanding day. The venue and facilities were perfect for a strategic planning day for our team. The all weather decks provide the perfect space for morning tea and lunch in the most gorgeous surrounds. The workshop sessions were interesting and a lot of fun. A great place for a team retreat, development and planning. Sincere thanks. Julie G
