Medicinal Plant Lectures: A Chinese triumph and an American awakening
The Royal College of Physicians is home to one of London’s hidden botanical gems: a 50 year old medicinal garden featuring over 1,300 plants.
This summer a series of afternoon lectures and garden tours reveals the rich heritage of horticulture and health. The final event takes two extraordinary stories, one of Qinghao a Chinese plant medicine in use for over 2,000 years, the other how freshly discovered botanical specimens from the ‘New World’ revolutionised 17th century European physic garde
