Philosophy

Hedgerow Remedies is inspired by the traditional use of local plants for their healing qualities. Many hedgerows are rich in plants that have historically been used for a wide range of therapeutic purposes.

Herbs that you might find in a hedgerow include Hawthorn, Cleavers, Elderflower, Nettle, Dandelion, Yellow Dock, Primrose, Coltsfoot, Comfrey, Greater Celandine & Agrimony.

By paying attention to the flora of our hedges, fields and woodlands we can re-engage with hundreds of years of using local plants for healing and also learn more about our immediate environment.
