Event Description
Enjoy an engaging discussion of the historical uses of medicinal plants and famous medical and physic gardens that have been cultivated for centuries around the world. Claire will highlight medicinal plants that help shape our world, such as Salix alba, Digitalis purpurea, Cinchona sp., Papaver somniferum, and Camellia sinensis. She will also share stories of medicines from the plant world that scientists have never fully comprehended in terms of their mechanisms of action or how to replicate what they do.
