MEDICINAL HERB GARDENS
at the Daoist College of Chinese Medical Arts
Asheville, North Carolina
Daoist Traditions is one of a growing number of Chinese Medicine schools with medicinal herb gardens. The purpose is to give students the opportunity for hands-on contact with the medicinal plants introduced in Herbal Medicine studies. The campus gardens currently contain over 90 different medicinal plants and continue to be expanded each year.
First year students gain experience in the herb garden during the Introduction to Herb Cultivation course. In addition, students in the first and second years of the program are required to participate in the care of the herbal gardens. Through this service project students help cultivate a healing space for the college community to enjoy.
