In our complex society today, most people don't have knowledge of the botanical origins of the plant-based items we use every day, including food items, clothing and building materials, and medicines.  \nStudents in Plants, Food, and Medicine (BIOL 315) sought to bridge this knowledge gap by researching the medicinal properties of plants in the University of St. Thomas Medicinal Garden. These plants have been in use for hundreds of years as treatments for common ailments. Sarah Nelson, the Sustainable Communities Partnership Artist-in-Residence, illustrated each plant in the style of old botanical prints, made customized icons, and assembled the information into this booklet. We hope that the Garden Apothecary helps you to see plants in a new light.  \nThe University of St. Thomas Medicinal Garden was created in 2017 as a collaborative effort between members of the Biology and Facilities Departments. Greenhouse Manager Catherine Grant designed the garden at the request of Dr. Amy Verhoeven as a space that could become an outdoor lab for Plants, Food, and Medicine (BIOL 315) . It was modeled after a medieval walled garden, with four beds, each containing plants that represent four types of medicinals: Native American, modern pharmaceuticals, traditional European medicinals, and modern herbal supplements. The garden is now open to visitors as a place to learn about the connection between plants and medicine and also as a quiet, contemplative space.  \nThe University of St. Thomas Sustainable Communities Partnership (SCP) collaborates with government and campus partners to integrate projects important to partners into St. Thomas courses across disciplines. Students apply course content to advance partners’ sustainability goals and improve interconnected human and ecological well-being in the Twin Cities area. Through the SCP Arts initiative, students collaborate with local artists to translate their SCP project findings into original artwork. SCP partners share the  \nresulting artwork in their communities and beyond, bringing to life sustainability goals  \nfor people of all ages.  \nImportant Notice  \nYou should not take action based on information in this publication without first consulting a healthcare professional.  \nThe information in this publication is for educational purposes only.
