The herball

The power of botanicals have long been recognised for their medicinal or therapeutic properties.

Derived from leaves, seeds, bark, roots, or twigs of plants grown in our Sussex grounds and gardens, botanicals can help provide a curative effect on personal well-being.

At our interactive botanical counter, guests are invited to join The Herball to extract and create their own bottled botanical elixirs or natural fragrance. The Herball will guide guests on an olfactory journey, detailing influences, philosophy, plants and their health benefits and uses. Guests will learn the individual benefits of the botanicals to create bespoke bottled elixir or perfume with a story, name, ritual, and rationale.

Guests may prefer to blend a personal or group bespoke bottled and labelled botanical water. Again, seasonal plants will feature and can be added to local natural mineral water supplier, South Downs Water which is naturally filtered through the deep chalk layers of our neighbouring South Downs.

What’s the benefit?

This activity enables the group to connect with each other and for individuals to show their flare in a safe and non- judgemental environment. Whether it’s a subtle note or a heady fusion of botanicals, this activity helps individuals to communicate and to share their feelings or experiences triggered by olfactory learning.

What you need This is an indoor activity and is not weather dependant. This 3-hour experience, for up to 15 people, is a valuable addition to events where new people are being brought together or when creating cohesion in problem solving is required.
