Meet your Green Neighbors!
This month we are celebrating the 7th birthday of the Dublin Herb Bike. We hope you can join us as we take a short Ramble through Merrion Square and then head over to the garden of one of our collective members for tea and cake!
On these Rambles you will learn to identify the wild plants growing all around us and how we can use many of them as food and medicine. We’ll discover different edible and medicinal plants found all around Dublin, discussing basic botany, harvesting considerations, and medicine making techniques.
These Rambles are a HerbShare Dublin Workshop in support of the Dublin Herb Bike. We strive for a model of healthcare that is based on solidarity and not charity. Our web of programming aims to build skills, share knowledge and costs, all while providing vibrant healthcare in our community.
Registration is based on sliding scale donations to keep these workshops as open as possible to all members of the community. Donations collected on the day with all monies going to keep the Herb Bike rolling! No one is turned away for lack of funds. Thank you for your support and for helping us build community through herbalism!
* Please note, these rambles are weather-dependent and held during the warm half of the year, generally April through September.

Combine learning with service at our Solidarity Medicine Making workshops! In these hand-on workshops, we make large batches of herbal preparations while focusing on teaching a wide array of medicine making skills. Join us for our workshops as we make seasonal herbal remedies to stock the free clinic. 
The medicines we craft go to stock to the Dublin Herb Bike, a mobile clinic providing free, herbal care and comfort to communities in need around Dublin. Some remedies are also gifted to communities in the form of care packages and HerbCare Stations. Over the years through these workshops we have also supported direct actions such as the Apollo House Occupation.
We run these workshops according to a Sliding Scale Payment System, which means you pay according to what you can afford. We are strongly committed to keeping these workshops accessible while also committed to supporting the work of the Dublin Herb Bike.
Suggested donation: 10 – 30 Euro for each workshop (no one turned away for lack of funds). Please send an email: DublinHerbBike@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Payment is in cash at the door!
