Bastyr University's medicinal herb and culinary garden plot is a unique tool for
educating students about natural therapies. Students use the herb garden to identify herbs,
observe their growth, and learn to prepare and cultivate them properly. This enhances the
naturopathic medicine curriculum, which requires every student to know 150 western herbs before
graduating. The garden is also used to teach sustainable agriculture and organic gardening, as
well as providing a beautiful spectacle to everyone who visits the campus.
