A Thursday Evening of Botanical Decompression.
Step out of the noise and into the flow of the water meadow.

The Sip: Garden-to-Glass Alchemy
With a chilled, copper distilled botanical mocktail in your hand, you will get to meet and greet the plants in your glass. We craft our ingredients from organic herbs harvested and preserved using ancient heritage techniques to capture the living essence of the plants you are drinking.
What’s included:
- The Sip: A pre-mocktail tasting of our signature botanical blends - Calm, Clarity and Courage - followed by a delicous expertly crafted mocktail.
- The Stroll: A guided walk through the meadow, woodland and food forest down mown paths, stopping by some of our favourite herb heroes and sharing their stories and soaking up the happy hormones of the trees to a soundtrack of evening birdsong.
- Expert herbal knowledge: A fun, beginner-friendly guide to the wild plants growing outside your own door, and their traditional uses.
- The Takeaway: a bunch of freshly picked herbs to dry at home and a 30ml bottle of your choice of Calm, Clarity or Courage.

The Lore: Meeting the Rebels
Step inside our working apothecary to meet Bella, Bertha, and Bessie - our traditional hand made copper stills. Over our homegrown handcrafted mocktails, we’ll share the story of our inspiration: Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th Century “rebel herbalist” who fought to keep plant knowledge in the hands of the people, and breathe in the heady fragrance of the herbarium in the Greenhouse.
