🤔 Did you know? This stained-glass window, by Richard Scowen, and donated by Past-Master Jonathan Holliday, celebrates more than just a #plant. Leeks and wild ramps have long been prized for their #health benefits, from aiding digestion to supporting heart health and immunity. 🌿 A small window into the powerful connection between nature and medicine. The panels in this window, with the theme of medicinal plants, were commissioned in 2017 to celebrate the Quartercentenary of the granting of its Charter to the #SocietyOfApothecaries. The initiative came from the Livery Committee in 2016 and the scheme was executed by William Shand and Michael Spencer. #FactFriday #DidYouKnow #Plants #HerbalMedicine #Nature #Medicine #WorldEnvironmentDay
