Join consultant Medical Herbalist Alice Johnston for an hour in the Broxburn Community Garden, exploring the healing plants growing all around us.

Sunday 14th June 11am - 12 noon

Free and open to all local residents. Either message us to say planning to come along or just turn up at the garden in front of the Strathbrock Community Centre on day.

During this session, we’ll wander through the garden and look closely at the common herbs and wild plants thriving in our neighbourhood. You’ll learn how to identify them, discover their traditional and modern uses, and hear some of the folklore and recipes connected to these familiar plants.

A friendly, informative introduction to the medicinal plants around us — perfect for anyone curious about herbs, nature, or local biodiversity.

Based in Uphall, West Lothian, Alice integrates traditional Western Herbal Medicine with modern scientific research to provide holistic, personcentred care for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Alice is also co-tutor for the Biophilia module at Heartwood Education herbal medicine college.

Spring feels possible now and it’s time to get back into the garden!

Thanks to Climate Action West Lothian for the funding, we’re proud to show you our new sign!

Put up on the fence today thanks to volunteers Kenny and Alex, hopefully it encourages you to pop in for a look around if the gate is open, pick up some veg or even become a volunteer yourself.

We’re in the deep midwinter, but we can still do some work in the garden. Tomorrow is 12th Night and if you’re getting rid of a real tree, why not drop it off at the community garden. Folks who did this last year helped us build this ‘dead hedge’. These are a great way to encourage insects and small animals to stay in the garden and we would use your tree to top this up. Just drop it beside the bottle bank and we’ll do the rest!
