From prehistoric times, through the Greek Empire, into the Middle Ages and modern day, plants have played a vital role in the development of medicine and thus are deeply entwined in the history and survival of mankind.

In this lecture, Nadine will share her research on the history of plant-based medicine and its relationship to historical events and figures, which yielded the current disciplines of herbal and conventional medicine.

Following the lecture, Nadine will lead interested participants on a brief walk to the Physic Garden, a 16th Century medicinal herb garden. In the Physic Garden, she will introduce botanical specimens with a role in this history, leaving participants with an appreciation for plants as the basis for human health, the medicine of mankind.
