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

Medicinal Forest Garden Trust update just published. In this July issue there are loads of items including info on sustainable herbs and agroforestry, guides on threats to forests, a new tree ID book for Britain and Ireland, plus a look at some courses in herbal medicine.
