Imagine a garden that is not only full of beautiful trees and shrubs, it is also a place of healing where the gardener grows medicinal herbs, plants, woody shrubs and trees.

Dr Anne Stobart describes how she became a medicinal herbalist, taught professional herbal medicine at university level and now grows and makes her own herbal medicines.

She explains how her partner and herself have transformed a small conifer plantation into a medicinal forest garden. Enjoy the 'before' and 'after' shots of this beautiful garden!
