A Taste of Sussex: The Healing Power of Herbs with The Healing Garden
Join us for a talk, demonstration and tasting.
We are surrounded by plants – most of which have well-known, forgotten, or yet to be discovered healing powers. This talk is a demonstration of medicinal plants that grow in your garden and your local environment, many disguised as weeds, but all with the potential to make your life and your lunch healthier and more enjoyable.
We will explore the practical use of local and seasonal medicinal plants, and talk about why and how to integrate them into your diet.
