Herb Gardens – At Risk / To Watch Herbs

To highlight those medicinal plants over harvested or in such high demand that species populations are threatened. The mission “is to introduce medicinal plants considered “At Risk” or “To Watch” determined by United Plant Savers, a grass roots organization dedicated to preserving medicinal plant species around the globe. Plants are noted as such on the garden flyer in the hopes of raising awareness of our interdependence on the plant world for food, medicine, healing, and for the removing of noxious gases in air and soil and water”.

Some plants included are Turmeric, Black Cohosh, Purple Echinacea and Stone Root. Read the At Risk Herb Flyer for additional information.

The Culinary herbs are a variety of herbs such as basils, oregano, thyme, and sage. The medicinal herbs feature many herbs used for medicinal purposes such as Angelica, an herb used in treatments for ailments ranging from coughs to flatulence! This garden is framed by two large fig trees.
