About this garden
The story
Inspired by medieval and monastic healing gardens, the garden celebrates the healing properties of the Lamiaceae plant family. The garden aims to reflect the style, structure, skills and craftmanship that would have been used within a monastic garden and how the priests and monks, in line with their commitments to serve the poor and sick, created early centres of medicinal plant collections, that were the precursor to the physic and botanical gardens of today.
