From Petals to Potions
From Petals to Potions – Monthly Workshops in the Heart of Whitby
Tucked away in a quiet courtyard in historic Whitby—just moments from the sea—From Petals to Potions invites you into a world where scent, creativity, and nature entwine. Step through our old stone archway into a blooming garden, where the whisper of leaves and the drift of floral fragrance set the scene for an afternoon of aromatic discovery. Each workshop is a gentle, hands-on journey into the alchemy of blending botanicals, designed to awaken your senses and nourish your spirit.
-
Our workshops are gentle, intimate gatherings that invite you to slow down and connect with the rhythm of the seasons. Together, we explore the beauty of plants, herbs, and flowers through hands-on, sensory making. One month you might blend a soothing bath soak, another, a fragrant tea or floral skincare treasure. The creation is always a surprise—lovingly chosen to reflect the spirit of the season.
You’ll leave with something beautiful and handmade to take home, infused with nature’s calm.

All you need to bring is yourself and a curious heart. Everything for the workshop is provided, and no experience is needed—just a love for nature and a desire to create. When the session comes to a close, you’ll find yourself perfectly placed to wander into Whitby’s charming old town, where cafés and restaurants are just a few steps away—ideal for a relaxed lunch or a cup of something comforting by the sea. Whether you’re completely new to botanical making or already feel at home among the herbs, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

Notes from the Workshop.
Between blending remedies and welcoming guests, I sometimes find myself drawn to the page — exploring the folklore and healing stories behind the plants I love. One of those wanderings became an article for Aromatica Magazine, where I shared Ancient Greek Beauty Secrets — a study of bay laurel, cypress, cedar-wood, and olive oil, and their timeless connection to beauty and spirit.
If you’re curious to journey deeper into the world of botanical beauty and ancient ritual, join me for one of my aromatherapy workshops or seasonal retreats, where these stories come alive through scent, ceremony, and hands-on blending.
