About this Event

Step into the Botanics’ green Ph*rm*cy

Founded as a physic garden in 1670, the Botanics’ history is rooted in the growth, study and use of herbs for medicinal purposes.

This year, we celebrate 20 years of our contemporary herbology course and the enduring healing and cultural power of plants.

This exhibition focuses on a selection of medicinal plants, remedy-making methods and recipes, giving a glimpse into our Garden's green Ph*rm*cy.

At this free event, one of our amazing volunteers will share with your their knowledge on and enthusiasm for Herbology, focusing on their favourite aspect of the exhibition.
