An Orkney Apothecary Garden 2026
About
Tucked behind the house, at the centre of the village, you will find a small apothecary garden, each plant a familiar companion and herbal ally. With a circular path at its heart, just wide enough for slow footsteps and a basket on your arm, beds of calendula, yarrow, plantain, rose, mint, and lemon balm grow amongst nettles, clover and other wildflowers. With micro habitats of woodland, water and meadow, the garden supports the wellbeing of both humans and wildlife, where the work of tending becomes a daily ritual of listening, repair and small, stubborn hope and plants are gathered for teas, tinctures and simple balms. In this wild sanctuary, we are encouraged to take things slow, and repair.Demonstration of herbal tea making with tasters. Not suitable for dogs or other animals or for young children due to medicinal plants.
Please note these gardens are opening for charity.
