The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #5 - Sweet Woodruf

A personal favourite, sweet woodruff is a gently spreading plant with predictable progression. Since planting it in 2020, it has increased its coverage, but not greedily so (unlike some! - I’m looking at you, Primrose).

Our sweet woodruff is now on full display at the PAG, but it will only present its delicate flowers for a short while before closing up shop the remainder of the year. For any interested observers, the PAG will be open Tuesdays between 3-5pm (more on PAG open hours as the summer progresses).
