The Medicinal Plant Garden

The Medicinal Plant Garden was started with a generous donation of plants by Mom's Head Gardens and the Sonoma County Herb Association. Volunteers have nurtured and cared for the garden's wide variety of American, Mediterranean, European, and Asian medicinal herbs throughout its development.       Many of these herbs are currently being used to treat illnesses like cancer, heart disease, depression, digestive disorders, and anxiety. Thanks to scientific research traditional herbs are now recognized as a valuable part of Western medicine. Some of the herbs included in the garden are agrimony, lemon balm, spearmint, echinacea, yarrow, lavender, French thyme, oregano, comfrey, horehound, gayfeather, Chinese mugwort, mullein, evening primrose, hyssop, tea tree, houttinuya, figwort, black cohosh, apothecary rose, calendula, rosemary, balloon flower, blackberry lily, peppermint, fo-ti, marshmallow, blue vervain, gypsywort, self-heal, greek foxglove, valerian root, yerba buena, yerba mansa, motherwort, gumweed, St. John's wort, winter savory, vinca, and many others.
