The Apothecary Box
Nicholas is a medical herbalist and member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. He created The Apothecary Box after studying Ethnobotany as a way to share his interest in the natural world and our relationship with it. Ethnobotany is the study of the connection between plants and people and examines how they affect each other. The Apothecary Box’s fascinating walks shine a light on plants as medicine, food, and their often overlooked historical influence.
