The medicinal forest garden is a beautiful place of healing, bursting with colour and aromas. A place where trees and shrubs provide food, habitat, beauty but also where the gardener grows medicinal herbs, plants, woody shrubs and trees.
Meet Anne Stobart in this fascinating conversation, where she explains how she became a medicinal herbalist and taught professional herbal medicine at university level. Anne also explores how she now grows and makes her own herbal medicines, from a wide range of healing trees and shrubs.
She explains how her partner and herself have transformed a small conifer plantation into a medicinal forest garden. Enjoy the ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots of this beautiful garden!
Anne is the author of The Medicinal Forest Garden Handbook – a guide to growing your own medicinal plants and Trees and Shrubs That Heal – include 80 profiles of medicinal trees and shrubs and how to create your own remedies. Both available via our online shop: https://shop.permaculture.co.uk
