Imagine a garden that is not only full of beautiful trees and shrubs, it is also a place of healing where the gardener grows medicinal herbs, plants, woody shrubs and trees.
Dr Anne Stobart describes how she became a medicinal herbalist, taught professional herbal medicine at university level and now grows and makes her own herbal medicines.
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
