Hackney Herbal is a garden-based social enterprise that promotes wellbeing by connecting people with herbs through creative and nature-based activities. Hackney Herbal was established in 2015 to show people how to grow and incorporate herbs into their lifestyles, for health and improved wellbeing, as well as to show people how abundant herbs are in urban areas, whether that be in private, public and/or community gardens.
To fund their community work, they sell a range of unique hand-packed herbal tea blends and run hands-on workshops that teach people how to use herbs for their own health.
