Did you know that many of the active substances in medicines come from plants? And that edible, medicinal plants can be found in almost all gardens, whether ornamental or growing spontaneously? Let’s discover some of them in the vegetation of the Gulbenkian Garden, among gingkos, olive trees, and wild plants.
Fernanda Botelho, author of books on edible and medicinal wild plants, will introduce us to plants that work as sedatives, anti-inflammatories, diuretics, anti-bacterials, tranquilisers, regulators… gardens are living pharmacopias!
