Meadow Volunteer Days

Would you like to join us in the Seilich Wildflower Meadow on a summer afternoon?

Meadow Volunteer Days are a wonderful way to spend a day out, immerse yourself in nature, and get up-close and personal with Native Scottish Botanicals, while learning a bit about them.

Whether you want to come along with friends, family and children, or you want to come alone for some nature therapy, or to meet like-minded people, wildflower picking in our self-sown and nurtured meadow could be just the thing for you!

On the day we'll provide:

- A Herbal Tea Re-Fill Station (so bring along your flasks!)
- A brief talk from Seilich founder and Botanist Sally Gouldstone on nature conservation methods in wildflower meadows, and/or the uses and benefits of the botanicals themselves from Herbalist Nicole
- We'll assign you a particular plant for gathering, with any necessary materials for picking (baskets/gloves/secateurs)


(Please note: while we'll give you a small portion of your gathered herbs to take home for your own uses, the majority of the harvests will be collected in our workshop for use in our skincare products, which are all hand-made from our own botanical ingredients)

This event is ideal for those who enjoy volunteering their time and efforts towards nature-positive activities, spending time outdoors, and who don't mind getting their feet muddy in the farmlands in the process!

If your looking to book for larger groups, or have any questions, drop us an email at workshops@seilich.co.uk
