What’s Happening

We invite you to rethink your relationship with health and medicine, and nature. The profound benefits of medicinal plants to maintain health and for medicine, and the benefits of nature for wellbeing are all now proven by science. The wealth of scientific evidence heralds a new era in health and medicine.

Explore our online blog resources, book inspiring group tours and school visits, and join talks, workshops and courses. Our new affordable Garden Membership means you can visit the physic garden often to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit, and to explore medicinal plants, nature and biodiversity further.

Our programme of events are designed to guide you on a journey to improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health:

  • Make home medicines to effectively treat the range of common conditions we encounter in every day life.
  • Use edible medicinal plants and herbs everyday to support health, wellbeing and improve our conscious states.
  • Discover the plant medicine proven to improve memory, sleep, anxiety, mood and more but with few if any side-effects.
  • Learn more with a 10-day Foundation in Plant Medicine – an immersive inspiring course in the tranquil physic garden.
