IRISH HERBAL WISDOM
Explore the world of native Irish wild plants and herbs with traditional herbalist Denise Dunne
Welcome
Hi, Denise here!
After almost three decades of working with herbs and wild plants on a professional basis, I established The Herb School with the aim of sharing my love and knowledge of these valuable plants with you through my online and in person classes, workshops and foraging walks.
Weeds are genuinely my favourite plants, and my mission is to de-mystify the world of herbs and native flora and to educate others in the many ways they can be easily incorporated into our everyday lives so that we can benefit from their valuable nutritional, health enhancing and healing properties.

LEARN ABOUT HERBS
Herbs have been used for food and healing, by all cultures, for thousands of years. They can enhance our lives in so many ways, but much of the knowledge that was traditionally passed down from generation to generation has been lost.
Reconnect with nature by learning how to incorporate these beneficial plants into your everyday life. From growing, harvesting, preserving and cooking with herbs, to foraging, making wild drinks and cocktails, and preparing herbal remedies, there is something for everyone.
Join me, Denise, for a foraging walk or workshop, learn at home from my online courses, or check out my blog posts for seasonal tips, recipes and more!
