John Massey, a valued tutor at Riverside for over six years, shares his expertise on edible weeds and their uses in this Spring Workshop, organised by Riverside Education.

As a master gardener, beekeeper, herbalist, and advocate for healthy living, John has explored various roles related to plants, prioritizing natural medicine and sustainability. Join him for a walk at Riverside Community to learn how to connect with nature and discover the nutritional and healing benefits of often-overlooked wild plants, like stinging nettle, red clover, and plantain.
