Herb Fest Portugal is an annual bilingual festival (PT/ENG) that brings together speakers with varied knowledge, where we celebrate the commitment of those who have practiced and transmitted Herbalism, through traditional and scientifical means.
It offers an opportunity to delve deeper into the flora of the country, introducing sustainable projects that are based on these plants and their natural medicine products.
Every year we have a rich program of lectures and workshops on herbal medicine for adults and children. These are facilitated by specialists from different botanical areas, always with a commitment to respect Nature and the ethics of proximity to resources.
Unite people and projects in order to preserve, develop and transmit Herbalism in Portugal,
validating it as a therapeutic resource of unique value for the preservation of heritage and as a driving factor for connection with the territory.
Connect the general public with professionals: teachers, researchers, herbalists, naturopaths, therapists, botanists, ecologists, farmers, producers, gardeners, artists and cooks,…
Herb Fest Portugal is aimed at all ages, from the youngest to the elderly, and has a diverse program that allows it to be adapted to both Herbalism enthusiasts and participants with more advanced knowledge and professional practice.
For all those who want to receive useful and essential knowledge, to learn how to take care of themselves and the community, and thus be able to more assertively develop strategies and paths towards true health sovereignty.
