Long before Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician regarded as 'the father of modern medicine', health and healing was a female domain of knowledge, received, preserved and transmitted from generation to generation. In Ancient Greek civilisations, gardens played a central role in the cultivation of plants for medicinal purposes and women used several species of *Lamiaceae* for health and healing, such as *Vitex agnus-castus*, *Salvia*, *Stachys*, *Lavandula*, *Origanum*, *Mentha* and many more. These plants are featured in the border to offer a fresh perspective on a medicinal planting and inspire visitors to consider both aesthetic and therapeutic properties when choosing garden plants.
