Medicinal Plants

temporary placeholder

As of April 2010, we are planning on designing and implementing a medicinal garden adjacent to our tropical conservatory. As part of our planning process, we are incorporating many plant species into the WISHLIST for this garden as well as additional medicinal plants for the indoor collections. Many of these plants are relatively common herbs, but just the same if anyone has divisions/cuttings/seeds etc of any of these plants they are willing to share, we would be most appreciative.

Thanks...
