Testimonials

What our participants say about their learning experience at The Herb School

I was gifted a private visit at Denise’s Herb Garden by my daughter for my birthday. It has been an amazing experience. Denise is such an enthusiastic plant lover and our discussions around plants and their medicinal properties were very informative. I strongly recommend her to anyone curious about plants.

Sylvie Thouësny

Denise is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, and her foraging workshop has transformed the way I see nature around me. In a few short hours she managed to impart so much useful information in such a friendly and accessible way. Really looking forward to the next time.

Aisling Conn

Denise has great knowledge and stories to share. She creates a very welcoming and nurturing experience. I will be back.

Lisa Brooks

We thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to foraging workshop in Denise’s beautiful wild garden. I learned so much. Her follow up emails are invaluable too. The newsletters link to all the right info and give the lowdown on safe and sustainable foraging.

Barry Donovan

The seashore foraging walk was a great experience. Denise is so incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned so much in just two hours. I was totally new to foraging and now I can’t stop. Would recommend 1,000%!

Kasia O’Connor

Denise is an excellent communicator, her workshops are well presented, packed with useful information and many tips not available in books. Her relaxed manner reduces the intimidation novices may feel. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Kara Nugent Davis

I thoroughly enjoyed the medicinal herb workshop, and I got so much from it. You are so knowledgeable and the information is just oozing from you. Your stories and anecdotes have allowed me to remember things easily. It was lovely to get your really helpful eBooks and notes. They are nice and concise, and your approach is really useful for learning.

Sarah Reynolds

I attended your fabulous workshop in Ardgillan Castle. I can’t wait to meet you again, forage with you and learn more of your wisdom.

Fiona Staunton

Thoroughly enjoyed Denise’s wild cookery course. I loved that she came in with a focused plan for what we would forage but was also able to give interesting details on multiple random herbs people asked about.
