Healing Herbs in the City

Healing herbs

Learn about healing plants - and free, health-giving food - right on our doorstep.

For spring and summer, medical herbalist Fiona Morris takes a short stroll around the city centre, showing the health-giving uses of both familiar weeds and more glamourous garden plants.

Anna Canning, also a medical herbalist, will join Greenyonder for a summer and autumn forage, when you'll have the chance to taste a recipe using the plants you've gathered.

All tours include the normally-locked Johnston Terrace wildlife garden with its fantastic range of healing plants throughout the seasons.
