Upcoming Live: In-Person and Online Events

I’m delighted to have been asked by The Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh to create a bespoke evening of herbal storytelling inspired by their historical archives and beautiful Physic garden, the evening will start with the opportunity to choose your own botanical gin and explore this tranquil spot in the middle of Edinburgh…before we head indoors for a unique evening of herbal legends, lore and history.

Check back soon, because there’s lots more news coming up!

Herbal Storytelling Retreats
with Botanica Fabula

News of our next adventure coming soon and enquiries being taken for unique Herbal storytelling adventures for small groups.

Book Botanica Fabula for a day retreat in rural Scotland, delving into a weaving of stories and herbal magic with Amanda.

We take you on an adventure into the realms of magical beings, social history and incredible plants.

We can advise groups on suitable beautiful, historic sites, where we can gather and then use as a base, from which we will take plant expeditions, make herbal preparations, and create our own folded loric books using handmade plant paper - all accompanied by stories and lore situated within the land we will explore.

You will go home with a full imagination, a medicine bag of favourite plants, and a few surprises.
