Created as a living educational resource for both the ACTCM community and the general public, our garden is abundant with healing herbs from around the world. Created in 1990 by then ACTCM student Robert Newmannow an internationally recognized expert in Chinese botanicalsthe garden contains plants that hail from China, Japan, Korea, Europe and North and South America. Explanatory plaques provide information on the Chinese and Latin names of the herbs, their taste, and their function in Chinese medicine. The garden continues to grow and produce a global array of healing herbs through the efforts of students, staff and faculty.
