Make your own cosmetics with Laura!
Of course our garden can feed us, but we can also use the plants for many other reasons!
Laura, from Nature Résiliente, takes you for 2 hours of workshop around the manufacture of cosmetic recipes, cleaning products but also food easy to make thanks to plants in your garden.
Do you know the flower of calendula? Also called Souci des champs or Souci des jardins, learn how to make a calendula balm.
Also leave with your vinegar of the 4 thieves, maceration of aromatic plants and spices. This recipe is from a group of thieves who, during a plague epidemic in Europe, stole the dead and the sick. When they were captured, they exchanged their secret recipe for theft without catching the disease for clemency.
But that’s not all! Also make a softener and a crazy salt (flavored salt), which takes its name from its eccentric and unexpected character, pleasantly surprising taste buds.
Simple and accessible to all!
