APOTHECARY BY THE SEA (HB)

Uprooted and in an unfamiliar landscape, Victoria instinctively returns to the work of growing, setting out to transform her scrappy backyard into an abundant apothecary garden, inspired by Orkney's folklore, ancient landscapes and wild nature. Under the influence of tides and storms, wild plants and seaweeds, she creates a biodiverse backyard sanctuary filled with micro-habitats, wildflowers and herbs. Here, in her apothecary by the sea, she crafts teas, tinctures and balms inspired by the surrounding soil and sea – and reclaims parts of herself long set aside.
