Subject: RE: BS: Input wanted re herb workshops
Grab...as I said, I've been doing talks on herbs for several years, so all those issues have already been addressed.

Janie, thank you. That is all really helpful and exactly the sort of comment I wanted.

Thanks John, sounds interesting.

BPL, I won't be concentrating on culinary herbs. Part of the reason for doing these workshops, is that I talk about the creams and tinctures that I make and lots of people want to know how to make them, so that's what I will be showing them.

I will, of course, be issuing all the appropriate warnings, but I really feel that, as long as people have been warned of possible dangers, it's time they started taking responsibility for their own actions. I know this isn't how our 'Nanny' society sees it. I am, of course, also taking out insurance!

I was thinking of charging £25 for a half day (3 hours), £50 for a full dau and possibly £100 for a weekend. This would include materials and a meal or two as appropriate, as well as tea, coffee etc.

Kat, my two books are "The Witch's Garden Herbal" and "Recipes from the Witch's Garden" and I'm working on the next two at the moment. They are spiral bound, home published, and the herbal costs £5 and the cookbook £4. I've sent some to the US...six books went this morning in fact. The postage (surface mail) for those was £7, but would obviously be less for only two books. PM me if you want to know any more
