"Myself and my son had the great pleasure of being in the group led by Kerry. Her enthusiasm and passion were infectious and inspiring. She was so knowledgeable and shared this in an understandable and enjoyable experiential way. Her Elderflower cordial and Rowan jelly were also a welcome treat! Would definitely recommend"
