Gathering herbs with intent. An event with Vicky Chown.

We begin the series with a celebration of Midsummer, or Litha — the height of the sun’s journey and the longest day of the year. Together, we’ll embody this moment of fullness, tracing the sun’s path to its peak. We’ll explore Celtic myths and traditions that honour this luminous turning point in the seasonal wheel. We’ll delight in the fragrance of sweet peas and give thanks for butterflies, pollinators, and the humble dandelion. As we gather, we’ll reflect on the ways we carry and tend our own inner light — and mark this powerful time with simple ritual, gratitude, and shared intention. OmVed Garden's Head of Urban Growing, Vicky Chown will be the first guest of the season (Summer Solstice).

This is part of a four part series, some with other members of the Omved team.
