Susanne Wombacher on Hildegard of Bingen, 1098-1179, Abess, philosopher, naturalist, herbalist, poet and composer. Reflecting her view of an interconnected cosmos, Hildegard experienced the chapel, the kitchen and the garden as one. This inspiring presentation will include her letters, poems and songs and descriptions of her favourite remedies and herbs. There will be tastings of parsley wine (good for the heart) and cookies (good for the nerves) made from Hildegard's original recipes.
Brigit Strawbridge from BBC2's 'It's Not
Easy Being Green' will talk about the decline in the bee population; a subject well covered in the media. But it's not
only honey bees that are suffering; Brigit will explain the difference between social and solitary bees
and how we can all help them in our back gardens and allotments. She will also be selling bee hotels - they are made by the Salter's Hill Community of adults with learning difficulties based in Ledbury. See her website here for monre information.
Dr Sasha Norris will be launching her NatureBook project. Time to be advised.
Helen Ridout-Morris, Herefordshire Mind, will talk about
