The Healing garden
Gavin Haig, a retired surgeon has studied the healing properties of many native plants with much of this work has carried out in his own garden, 'Spillfords' on the River Exe.
His home, which has been featured on TV, has a great variety of habitats and even provides a home for the rarest butterflies in Europe - the Marsh Fritillary.
"From earliest times plants have been used for their medicinal properties, and their beauty has also contributed to our sense of wellbeing. To many people, the scent of a rose, of lavender, or the tranquillity of a summer garden brings a healing space into our hectic lives. We may not have huge gardens, but we can all introduce some of his ideas to enrich our own private spaces."
