This Motherwort in my garden has reached a good size to enable me to harvest some. It's a gentle and supportive plant for female health. However, those flowers are really prickly, so gloves are essential. By growing some of my herbs and making the medicines I can really ensure the quality.

Talking about herbal medicine at Enys Gardens today. Learning to recognise some native plants, knowing when and how they can help is really empowering. Make a plan to get to know a herb this month. Whether you buy one, plant one or forage one. Touch it, smell it, make a cuppa tea with it. Remember that's what your ancestors did. Your body remembers and is literally hungry for those plants.

Spending time growing plants, tending to plants and even looking at plants, gives health benefits. This is of particular value for people with dementia. It appears that the improvements in wellbeing are not only due to the physical activity, opportunity for socialisation and learning that gardening offers, but to being with the plants themselves.

Research shows gardening preserves cognitive function, helping you live well for longer. Now, dementia patients are reaping the benefits with "care farm" prescriptions.
