and medicines in the British countryside, Asian spices, traditional herbs, British home
gardens, basket-making, a large display of ethnographic textiles and fibres, and a mini-
festival of ethnobotanical films. There will be ample opportunity to handle plant material
and talk with researchers. The event is suitable for all ages, families welcome.
The event runs 11am to 4pm and entry is FREE, so long as an e-ticket is pre-booked
