Do you know your Kingcup from your Granny’s Nightcap? Which plants will help keep you safe when you travel? Or help you escape from Vampires? And which you should never, ever, pick or bring into the house? Which plant you can use as a lie-detector? Why Vervain is also known as The Magician’s Herb? And why the Priest in the Pulpit isn’t really about Priests or Pulpits at all. *We look at the fascinating world of the common names for our wildflowers, the origin of these names and the folklore that surrounds them.

Our speaker, Peter Smith, is a beekeeper, amateur entomologist and writer and has appeared on BBC Countryfile.

After our speaker there will be plenty of time for refreshments, for meeting fellow members, and for catching up with friends.

There is a £5 charge for each session, payable in cash, preferably, on the day.

It is helpful if you let us know if you plan to attend, purely for the catering and seating arrangements; but, as ever, spontaneous attendees are most welcome. Please click on the button below to add your name to the attendee list
