PLANT ~ Power in Learning and Accessing Natural Therapies

Nature is the oldest pharmacy in the world. For many centuries plant remedies were the main medicines used to treat diseases throughout Europe. The knowledge about plants and their possible usage was often passed down from generation to generation. But for different reasons a lot of this knowledge got lost in the past century.

Brigit's Garden is involved in this exciting project with partners from Estonia, Italy, Poland, Greece, and Germany, sharing knowledge about traditional uses of herbs in cooking and medicine. Each country will take a turn hosting workshops over the next two years and the next meeting is at Brigit's Garden on 19th of October! We are delighted to be part of this project and are inviting you to get involved.  For more information about the PLANT programme, see their website.
