Botanics Storytelling Day: Tales from the Kitchen Garden
SISF Family Event
(Sun 26 Oct - Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh)
Giant turnips, lush rampions, magic beans and pumpkins turned into golden coaches! Veggie gardens have thrived with stories since the beginning of time. You are welcome to come and discover them with our storytellers, for an afternoon of fun and magic for all ages!
Drop-in for Wee Stories at the Gazebo, take a Story Walks through the gardens and explore the story of the Painted Lady in A Dispute with a Butterfly. Please meet at the Botanic Cottage in the Demonstration Garden and dress for the weather!
*Please note Magician with Wood (workshop) will now be held at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, not at RBGE as advertised in print.

Join us in the school holidays and across the Festival for a selection of storytelling performances and events for all the family as part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025. The Festival tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
