Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch is hosting monthly workshops where guests can learn important lessons from Mother Nature – and a few other plant experts – about the power of plants, flowers and fermented foods.
Discover the healing properties of herbs, how to improve your gut health with fermenting food, why the right flower arrangement will set the mood of any event, and what to do when propagating plants.
Here’s a list of what’s on offer:
27 July – Herbal health
Spier’s resident phytotherapist, Dr Caren Hauptfleish, shares homegrown, herbal remedies for maintaining a strong immune system during winter.
31 August – Fermentation fundamentals
Join Megan McCarthy from the Spier Food Garden to discover the fundamentals of fermentation, and learn how to make sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles and other fermented treats.
21 September – Flower power
Learn the beautiful art of foam-free flower arranging. Leave with a floral creation and plenty of decorative ideas for summer holiday celebrations.
5 October – Horticulture from Home
Spier Food Garden’s very own green-thumbed Megan McCarthy shares top techniques to propagate almost any plant.
The workshops all take place at Spier’s Cowshed from 09:00 –12:00 and include a morning coffee followed by a light lunch served with Spier’s Good Natured organic wines. Priced from R500 – R750. Book through Dineplan or via www.spier.co.za
