Medicinal forest gardening is good for you! In my Medicinal Tree Woman newsletter post, 'What Can I Grow In A Medicinal Forest Garden? Part 3: Plants For Maintaining Health', you can find remedies for common problems, from digestive problems to heavy periods, poor sleep and liver congestion.

Some seeds like mullein (Verbascum thapsus) can be gathered straight from the plant. Many other medicinal herb plants and seeds can be hard to find but you see a list of plant and seed suppliers in the latest Medicinal Forest Garden Trust update

In my series on What To Grow In A Medicinal Forest Garden I list plants that help combat complaints of getting older. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) berries can be used to make a delicious liqueur. See my recipe at What can I grow in a medicinal forest garden? Part 2 at annestobart.substack.com

Over on SubStack I write as 'Medicinal Tree Woman' and I have just started a series of posts about the plants we grew in our medicinal tree project in Devon UK. Part 1 is a starter list of remedies for skin care. Subscription is free (there is a paid subscription for supporters).

Congratulations to Anne Stobart, author of Household Medicine in Seventeenth-Century England, for being awarded the Leslie Matthews Medal by the British Society for the History of Pharmacy.

Looking back on 2024 I am reminded to be more careful about which buttons I press when I put my mobile phone down on the ground! Here I am inadvertently filmed harvesting some medicinal shrub 🌱 branches on a sunny day in Devon. Festive greetings to all!
