A Herbal Storyteller's Guide to Valentine's Day (or Be Careful What You Wish for)

Herbal storyteller, author of The Time Traveller's Herbal, Amanda Edmiston joins for an evening of folkloric love potions and tales of love, lust and loss.

Taking us on a journey back into the historical storyteller's apothecary cabinet.

Amanda's work weaves together facts, folklore, fairytales, history and herbal remedies, a blend which audiences have described as “a rich, enchanting glimpse into a magical garden”.

Amanda Edmiston comes from a family of storytellers, plant-people, writers and artists. For the past 15 years her work has taken her on a fabulous journey, from weaving words about poisons for Chelsea Physic Garden to Scottish plant-lore for the Ashmolean in Oxford, her work draws on memories of plant use gathered from intergenerational projects across rural Stirlingshire and her deep love of legends and myths.
