Why not join our network of herbal gardens?

Our aim for the network is to enable gardens to network together, share resources and skills. In this turbulent world with news designed to keep us on edge, building networks of resilience is vital. This is the reason that we set up the herbal gardens network. A network of local herb growers growing key herbs which either people in those communities can access themselves or we can share to make remedies for communities in times of collapse/war/low supply…whatever happens.

Building community resilience – we can help

We believe that creating herbal gardens in communities will benefit the community, the climate, and is an integral part of community resilience programmes. We also aim to change people’s connection with the land, knowing that simply being in the herbal garden surrounded by the plants will have a positive effect on mental health, and can provide a moment of calm and reflection in a stressful world.

We can help by giving advise on which herbs you might like to include to create a herbal first aid garden, and workshops on making remedies. We would charge for these services, but joining the network is free.
