ABOUT HERBS FOR HEALING
Herbs for healing can be found in a secluded field in Barnsley, Nr Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Started in 2005 it is run by Davina Wynne-Jones who grew up in the famous gardens at Barnsley House learning much from her mother Rosemary Verey with whom she shared a passion for herbs.

Davina previously kept horses and sheep in the field and it seems to suit the herbs well, they have been growing prolifically.

The garden is not just a place to buy herbs, it is also a place to come to to learn about them and to relax and enjoy the surroundings. In 2010 we have developed  a circular garden surrounded by a hawthorn fence and arches opening to the four directions. We call it the magic garden and it is planted with herbs used traditionally in magic, for protection and health. In the centre we have a bowl, built by Tom Verity. It is filled with water and reflective.  This part of the garden is dedicated to the fairy folk.

Our WORKSHOPS are in the practical use of the herbs - making tinctures, ointments, creams and and flower essences.The programme for 2010 will include the above and also propagating herbs, soap making, and childrens workshops

The garden is run with some voluntary labour from members of WWOOF. Saskia Marjoram of Saskia's Flower Essences has been staying there since August 2009 and has added her expertise in gardening as well as in the healing aspect of plants.

LOCATION. The garden is in a field at the end of an unnamed track, however the highways have agreed to officially adopt the name Clapton's Lane for the track however this has been taking a while so TO FIND US download the PDF MAP.
