Dear all,
I hope our latest exhibition - Healing Garden – drawing on the RHS Lindley Library’s collection of early printed herbals may be of interest to you:
Exhibition: Healing Garden
Monday 10 September – Friday 14 December 2018
RHS Lindley Library, London
(Mon-Fri, 10-5)
The early printed herbals of the 16th to 18th centuries feature many familiar plants that still grow in and around our gardens today. Separating medicinal uses from medical myths, this small display at the RHS Lindley Library in London
will look at how our understanding of these plants has changed and investigate their use for healing today.

We are also offering a free A History of Herbals behind the scenes tour with curator’s introduction to the exhibition on 26/9:
