I am a freelance storyteller and as a former student of human rights law and then herbal medicine my passion is researching and retelling traditional stories and folklore which highlight plants and the part they play in all our lives and how the commonality found by diverse groups of people in the plant use and the stories themselves, serves to allow new paths of communication and social cohesion to form.
My long term project: ‘Botanica Fabula’ aims to collect and retell stories about plants and there uses and their place in every society on this planet in order to keep knowledge alive and bring stories that can excite a passion for plants to as many people as possible. I am currently working on traditional Scottish and original work focusing on the Scottish landscape and flora, however I also incorporate a lot of stories from other cultures, which reflect the make up and changing dynamic of modern Britain.
