About this author

Amanda Edmiston is a herbalist and storyteller living between Scotland and Northumbria. She first learnt about plants and recipes from her grandmother who still remembered traditional remedies and folklore from her Grandfather a sculptor who talked about stpries and history as he worked. After studying law and then herbal medicine, Amanda found it natural to start bringing together stories, plants, and magical places, drawing on the Scottish storytelling tradition, but in her own unique way. She has been showcasing her work internationally for over 15 years, performing and creating art in museums, libraries, forests, castles, schools and universities under the banner Botanica Fabula.

You can find out more about travelling 'herbal storytelling' adventures, her intergenerational projects and work for TV and film, alongside her online courses on her Botanica Fabula website.
