Exhibition: Botanical by Inês-Hermione Mulford
2026-05-22 - 2026-05-31 | Custom House Gallery, 65-67 Commercial Street, Leith, EH6 6LH
Botanical Reverie invites viewers to slow down and enter a state of quiet contemplation within the natural world. In observing plants closely, we allow our minds to wander, noticing details often overlooked. In Botanical Reverie, art becomes both an invitation and a reminder: the closer we look, the closer we feel.
See Inês’ work up close, with chance to stay on for a talks by Dr Neil Bell and Dr Becky Yahr:

Saturday 23rd May: Dr Neil Bell Bryologist at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Sunday 24th May (1pm): Dr Becky Yahr Lichenologist and biodiversity scientist
