Remembered Remedies 2022
In Spring 2022 10 people came together at Chelsea Physic Garden to share stories of plants and remember remedies from childhood and the past.
The group came together weekly over 8 weeks, learnt about the plants at Chelsea Physic Garden and explored stories with Sally Pomme Clayton. The project finished with a sharing event, where friends and family came together on a late spring evening to hear stories and share food.
We learnt about coffee in Yemen, fennel uses in Chinese medicine, oranges in Iran, ferns in Britain, rosehips in Russia, Cacao in Ethiopia and so much more.
Below are some of the stories the participants shared during the project.
With special thanks to Omnibus Theatre, Morley Collage, Citylit, Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers, Katherine Low Settlement and National Lottery Heritage Fund.
