31st July
The variable weather has
allowed the Physic Garden plants to settle in while we
sort out long-term arrangements for their watering.
However some of the box hedge has suffered a little with
yellowing. We expect this to be a temporary problem and
will be feeding the plants appropriately. New plants
will be arriving soon, thanks to Eden Project. A brand
new display board and other signage are also on their
way.
Note the
Lemon Balm
plant in the lobby with the new postcards.

Simon Mills gave a
free talk at Culm Valley Integrated Centre for Health on
Wednesday. The talk was open to everyone and drew over 30
including patients, partners from the practice and other
health professionals. Thank you to everyone who came and we
hope you enjoyed yourselves and thank you to the Patient
Support Group who organised the evening.
28th June 2008
There are more signs in
the physic garden now. We have added information on
valerian, peppermint and evening primrose.

Lavender is the featured herb for this month and there
is a wonderful specimen in the lobby at the practice. If you
are in the practice, take a look at the information on
lavender and help yourself to a postcard.

The physic garden has really grown
with our wet and warm spring. After some experimentation we have
found a way to write on slates (a big thank you to the local
Free-cyclers who gave us the slates), so our labelling has
started. Please take a moment to have a look at the garden.
If you walk up to the top with your back to the practice,
you can get a much better view of the green box hedge man.
We would also like to take this opportunity to say a huge
thank you to Chris who has put many hours into
keeping the garden weed-free and looking good.
