About Winter Talks: Delve into Scottish Plant Lore by Greg Kenicer
From the practical to the fantastical, people have used plants in myriad ways through the ages in Scotland. This talk investigates some of these uses and practices – the patterns, connections to other cultures, and some of the unique (and sometimes weird) ways plants and people have worked together.
This season’s Winter Talks will take place on the first Thursday of the month from 10 October 2024 to 3 April 2025 (with the exception of January); refreshments afterwards.
The talks are free, but a donation to Dr Neil’s Garden would be welcomed.
