Entry £6 per person. Cash or card on arrival.

Join herbal storyteller Amanda Edmiston (Botanica Fabula) for an evening exploring legends, folklore, social history, the world of medicinal plants and a journey that led to her first book The Time Traveller's Herbal.

Before meandering into a magical realm of mythology, grown up fairy tales and historical medicinal plantlore, Amanda's book begins with her own childhood memories. Her Gran was a Worcestershire farmer's daughter, who became a nurse during WWII and fell in love with a handsome Scottish sculptor when he was stationed in England with the RAF.

In this evening session Amanda will share some of her favourite stories from within the book, lead us along the path of her own journey and shares a flavour of the kitchen and garden adventures with her Gran that informed her love of healing herbs and plantlore.

For more about Amanda and her work see her website: www.botanicafabula.co.uk. Or follow her stories on social media Facebook Twitter and Instagram.

Entry £6.00 (cash or card on arrival).
There will be an opportunity to purchase Amanda's book at the event. The museum will remain open from 5pm for those wishing to view the displays before the event begins.
