The third session is by Anne Stobart and her topic is Designing with Medicinal Trees and Shrubs in the Forest Garden.

🌱 About the lecture

The forest garden offers many opportunities to promote and maintain health. Anne will talk about the wide range of medicinal trees and shrubs that can be included in forest garden design. Alongside foods for health these plants offer a variety of herbal actions which can benefit many ailments and promote resilience. A range of design purposes will be considered from self-help to commercial production. Issues of quality and safety in harvesting and using these plants will also be discussed.
