Stories from the Garden
Dr. Allan Armitage

6 days ago
Gardening is not brain surgery or rocket science. There is so much more to our gardens than compost and digging holes. The plants we garden with are story machines, each begging to be heard. Each week, sit back and listen to award-winning author and internationally acclaimed horticulturist Dr Allan Armitage as he talks about the “rest of the story.” For example, was there really someone called Joe Pye, and how did the poppy become the flower of remembrance? Find a little time in your day for some storytelling to fire up your curiosity and learn something interesting to share with others.

Stories from the Garden: The Doctrine of Signatures

The common names of plants often seem to have no rhyme or reason. While some of these common names come from folklore, often with little basis in today's reality, others are the result of theological and herbal studies. There are numerous books on how plants produce great herbs and how herbs can treat various diseases. But where does this come from? Dating back to 40 AD, we can trace these ideas to the Doctrine of Signatures.
