As Living Medicine is rooted in community-professional partnership, we will start to create our world herb and kitchen garden with the African-Caribbean, Muslim, Chinese, Asian, African, British and other groups who still use plant medicine and healing foods.

We plan to spread the wisdom and pleasure of using food and herbs in health by working with a wide range of other organisations, including the NHS and GPs, schools, colleges, Sure Start, Groundwork, elders and other community groups.

Our co-founder and project director, a medical herbalist with passion for bringing communities together, has been piloting Living Medicine activities in Hammersmith & Fulham. She has been teaching and exchanging knowledge about healing food and herbs with local groups, including:

� Nubian Life (African Caribbean resource centre) with the elders about their use of herbal remedies in the Caribbean.

� Hammersmith Community Gardens Association which is providing garden and greenhouse space to Nubian Life and other groups to grow herbs and vegetables.

� West London College Health & Social Care students we developed a module for the students who research the use of herbs in the Caribbean by Nubian Life elders.

� Sure Start workshops with mothers and children in using foods and herbs in healthy eating.

� Old Oak Community Centre and Groundwork West London workshops on food and herbs, plus design advice on the development of the Centre�s herb garden.

� Normand Croft Community School hands-on herbal remedies workshop with primary school children.
