The Herbal Adventure and Tour at Wellfield Botanic Gardens

Then, let your curiosity guide you on a leisurely, guided sensory tour through the stunning landscapes of Wellfield Botanic Gardens. Breathe in the fragrant blooms, listen to the gentle rustle of leaves, and discover fascinating stories hidden among the plants. Stroll past the charming English Cottage Garden, where timeless flowers and herbs mingle in perfect harmony, and explore the artfully designed Island Garden, a serene retreat filled with color, texture, and inspiration. Along the way, you’ll uncover how herbs have been used for centuries - for flavor, fragrance, and wellness - and how each plant contributes to the garden’s unique ecosystem.

As the experience unfolds, you’ll engage all your senses: touch the soft petals, smell the invigorating aromas, and even taste fresh herbs straight from the garden. Your guide will share expert tips for using herbs at home, from culinary applications to creating your own calming, fragrant spaces.

The adventure culminates in a hands-on activity: crafting your very own take-home simmer pot blend or sugar scrub. This keepsake captures the essence of Wellfield Botanic Gardens, allowing you to carry a bit of the garden’s magic with you long after your visit. Whether you’re an herb enthusiast, a garden lover, or simply seeking a sensory escape, The Herbal Adventure is an unforgettable experience that nourishes the senses and sparks inspiration at every step.
