Welcome to Herbspace Community Interest Company. Founded in 2016, we are a not for profit social enterprise, creating an outdoor therapeutic space in North Berwick
We are joined in this endeavour by young people. Herbspace offers them a space where they can spend time, relax and gain confidence, as well as learn gardening skills and connect with nature – elements that all support physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Our core purpose is to support these young people as they grow and find their place in the world. In addition through our work and the growing and selling of herbal products we are raising awareness of the importance of young people’s wellbeing in the community.
We work closely with North Berwick High School and Law Primary to provide opportunities for individuals and small groups to visit during school time. We also offer lunch time drop-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school term (between 1.05-1.45) and a volunteering session on Friday afternoons. Young people and/or their parents and carers can email kathy@herbspace.co.uk for more information on visiting Herbspace and attending any of our sessions.
We sell a range of herbal teas and vinegars, herbal bath salts and salves for dry skin, based on the herbs we grow and others we forage for in the local area. All income from selling our products is invested back into the business enabling us to continue supporting our young people.
