Local history with Monica McGill: Some of the weeds growing around us are medieval medicinal plants
Yet another jewel in Clondalkin is the public garden at the Round Tower. Free access to it is through the café of the adjoining Brú Chrónáin/Round Tower Visitors’ Centre. Many medieval medicinal plants are growing there, the materia medica of the day. The garden is well worth a visit, although only a few of its plants can be included here.
However, be warned – do not use any part(s) of the following plants to heal or cure any ailment, illness, disease or discomfort whatsoever.
