Have you ever thought about how people treated everyday health problems before modern medicine? They turned to nature: plants were used as a cure for everything from acne to liver disorders, treating depression to healing open wounds. A ‘physic garden’ was a natural pharmacy - a garden full of medicinal herbs used to cure a range of illnesses and complaints.
In this workshop we will walk around our physic garden: learn about medicinal plants and how to care for them.
Requirements: Please bring a snack and a keep cup or water bottle.
Venue: Meet at the Kitchen Garden.
This workshop supports the Botanic Gardens' commitment to creating a plant loving community dedicated to putting the 'plant back into planet'.
Note: This workshop is only available to participants 16 years of age or over.
