Herbal Magic: Amanda Edmiston on Collected Cutiosities
We are delighted to announce that Amanda Edmiston will be joining usto deliver a talk, sign copies of her new book Collected Curiosities and demonstrate the historic uses of herbs.
'A dyed in the wool storyteller', herbalist and writer: Amanda Edmiston, comes from a family of storytellers, plant-people, writers and artists.
For over a decade her work has taken her on a fabulous journey, she has woven words about poisons for Chelsea Physic Garden, taken Scottish plant-lore to the Ashmolean in Oxford and shared secrets from C18th herbals in stories for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow.
Her sessions weave together facts, folklore, fairy tales, history and herbal remedies using storytelling, creating a dynamic multi-sensory tapestry, which audiences have described as ‘a rich, enchanting glimpse into a magical garden'.
