STH Webinar on Medical Herbalism
Tuesday 9th September 6.00pm
At the Chartered Institute of Horticulture we organise quarterly webinars on topics related to Social and Therapeutic Horticulture to increase the knowledge and skills of those of us working in the sector. In this webinar we have invited Medical Herbalists to share some of their expertise with us. We all use plants to promote wellbeing in relation to gardening and the natural environment but can develop our expertise further by learning more about some specific plants and how they can promote health through simple, accessible treatments.
