Nature’s Roving Medicine Chest

We have enjoyed growing a wide range of medicinal plants at the peace garden in our tea beds, herb spirals, sensory garden and forest garden areas. We have dried and processed herbs for teas, such as calendular, yarrow, lavender, mint, rosemary, sage, lemon verbena, chamomile, nettle and St. John’s wort to name a few. We became a growing site for Herbalists Without Borders who make remedies to take out to refugee camps in Northern France. Now we are linking up with Phytology in Bethnal Green, who have kindly donated some herbal preparations to our volunteers, from their Mobile Apothecary.
