What’s Happening
Rethink your relationship with health, medicine, and nature. The powerful forgotten benefits of medicinal plants to maintain our health and to use as medicine, and the benefits of nature for wellbeing, are all part of our heritage, and are all now proven by science. The wealth of scientific evidence we now have means that a new era in health and medicine is unfolding.
Explore our growing blog resources, book inspiring group tours and school visits, and join talks, workshops, courses and evengts. Our new affordable Garden Membership also means you can visit the physic garden often to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.
