Exhibition: Nature's Medicine - The Making of a Modern-Day Herbal

---

Traditional herbals were botanical encyclopaedias containing information about plants and their medicinal uses. Predating modern medicine, these books mixed careful observation of plants with myth and magic. We might not trust their ‘cures’ today, but what secrets and stories of the healing power of plants could a modern-day herbal reveal?

Created by a group from the Walton Charity alongside creative practitioner Anna Jones, in collaboration with the RHS, this modern-day herbal exhibition explores the benefits plants, gardens and green spaces can have for our mental as well as our physical wellbeing.

Visit the exhibition in the Old Laboratory to discover art, stories and poetry created by Walton Charity artists and learn about ways to harness the healing power of plants and gardens in our daily lives.

Please note: Normal garden admission charges will still apply to enter the garden.
