Healing Herbs in the City
Medical herbalist Julia Cook takes a short stroll around the city centre, showing the current medical uses of both familiar weeds and more glamourous garden plants, ending in a normally-locked urban wildlife garden with a fantastic range of healing plants.
Launching on Saturday 22 May, we'll end the tour by making some herbal teas. There will be herbs and herbal products for sale at reasonable prices.
This golden hop adorning a lamp in the
Old Town is also a healing herb
