Re-Root at Lime Wood
Just as Lime Wood is enveloped by and rooted in ancient forest, our weary souls and senses are (like it or not) rooted in nature. Humans are just not designed to function at full pelt, 24/7. Our minds and bodies pay the price.
We’ve listened to what our guests are looking for: lightly structured chill time and making the most of our calm, healing surroundings while, crucially, having some creative fun. So here’s a series of re-rooting retreats, events and workshops that tap into the remedial powers of the English countryside.
Friday 12th June | Friday 17th July
Join our resident Forager Sammie Longhorn for seasonal foraging, Meet at Herb House to head into the forest for a one-hour foraging walk and head back to our glasshouse for refreshments and a Q&A with Sammie.
Saturday 13th June | Saturday 4th July | Saturday 5th September | Saturday 10th October | Saturday 28th November
