Welcome to our new website!

Ruskin Apothecary is set in an idyllic location in a valley, next to Ruskin Mill, a beautiful lake and ecologically rich valley. The Apothecary is a real multipurpose space - half the week it is for health and medical consultations with one of our fully trained medical herbalists, whilst the other half is given over to medicine making and teaching (from workshops for 4 year olds to one year long herb classes!). Our aim is summed up by the project ‘One Mile Pharmacoepia’ - to create as much of the medicine we use as locally as possible, whilst simultaneously re-educating people of the immense value and potential of the plants growing around us

NB: Link to our recently recorded Radio Gloucestershire programme - a downloadable virtual herb walk, being broadcast March - May.

Thank you for visiting!
