Holt Wood Herbs
The Holt Wood Herbs project is in North Devon and is based around the aim of developing sustainable home production of medicinal tree and shrub products. The project involves a 2 1/2 acre site designed by a medical herbalist. The site is an ex-conifer plantation and has been planted since 2005 with a range of native and introduced medicinal trees and shrubs. At present the owners are working to keep weeds down and establish trees and gain experience in coppicing of medicinal trees. Occasional Working Days and Open Days are held, and a newsletter produced several times per year.
