Plants
Listed below are some of the medicinal plants, shrubs and trees that love living in Dilston Physic Garden
These plants thrive in the Physic Garden and are important for at least two reasons:-
- Historical - they (or the indigenous ones) are likely to have been the plants that ancestors of people living in this area primarily used for healing.
- Practical - they would provide for the making of herbal products.
We would love to hear from anyone who use herbs to make preparations such as herbal oils/ vinegars, jams/jellies/chutneys, skin cream/ointments/lotions, bath products, soaps, potpourris, sachet, smudging sticks or anything else that we could sell here for them from the garden (charging a small commission).
