Soraya Bishop

Soraya is a co-founder and director of Grass Roots Remedies Co-operative, with a background in ecology and conservation, community gardening and herbalism. Inspired by the Radical Herbalism Gatherings she joined other like minded folk up north wanting to bring the threads of social and environmental justice together with plant medicine and formed the Scottish Radical Herbalism Network.

Along with other members of GRR co-op Soraya runs workshops and courses in sustainable foraging practice, sensory herbalism and practical remedy making and helps manage one of GRR co-ops larger medicine gardens – a small corner of the 100 acre Lauriston Agroecology Farm in North West Edinburgh.
