Nathaniel Hughes
Ruskin Apothecary was set up by Nathaniel Hughes BSc PGDip MNIMH, and is set in an idyllic location near Stroud in Gloucestershire, next to Ruskin Mill, a beautiful lake and ecologically rich valley.
The Apothecary is a real multi-purpose space, offering professional and skilled Insight Herbalism and Medical Herbalism alongside being the base of the School of Intuitive Herbalism where we offer professional trainings alonside shorter workshops in Intuitive herbalism and advanced bodywork.
Myself and artist Fiona Owen have working together over the past four years, distilling our experiences of herbs into a series of books. The current volume ‘Wild Enchantments’ (2024) is available and we plan to reprint Intuitive Herbalism (2014) and Weeds in the Heart (2017) soon.
This website is not rarely updated as most content has been moved to the school website.
Thank you for visiting!
