Apple Wassail – Spring Wild Ways Well
Join us in Howden Walled Garden for a (sort of) traditional Apple Wassail. Wassailing is an ancient tradition where communities would come together to celebrate the passing of winter and to ‘wake’ the apple trees in their orchards to ready them for the year ahead.
“Wassail the trees so they may bear, many an apple, and many a pear”
- Date & Time: Saturday 3 February 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
- Meeting place: St John’s Hospital Livingston – Howden Walled Garden
