Today we are told that we must act globally, but think locally. At the Celtic Herbalist, we are practicing ecological conservation by using the plants on our doorstep instead of, for example, stripping the Ginseng from the mountains of Asia. We are also practicing ethnic conservation by preventing this knowledge from being lost to Mankind.

The Celts were the predominant culture in Europe for nearly a thousand years. The Celtic Herbalist's Gardens are in the south-west of France, a former major settlement area of the Celts (or Gauls, as the Romans called them). Our Stillroom is the only one from which you can acquire the Celtic Remedies and this site is the only one where you can Consult with our resident Celtic Herbalist.
