Heilpflanzen und Kräutermagie

Let’s explore the fascinating world of medicinal plants in the medicinal herb garden! On our tour, you’ll learn how medicinal plant gardens have evolved from antiquity to the present day. We’ll explore the wisdom of Hildegard von Bingen, the role of women knowledgeable in herbalism, healers, and midwives, and the often-misunderstood history of “witches.” We’ll also show how poisonous plants were specifically used and understood. The tour combines historical practices and insights and illustrates how herbal medicine continues to shape our lives today.
