Opening of the Chinese Herb Garden SATURDAY 3rd JULY 2010

This event is to celebrate the completion of the Chinese Herbal Teaching Garden.

The official opening will take place at 12.00 noon at the pavilion in the Chinese Herb Garden. This will be followed by demonstrations of tai chi by the Bristol School of Tai Chi and a traditional lion dance through the gardens by the University of Bristol Lion Dance Troupe.

The lion dance will be used to create
good fortune for the years ahead.

Tours of the Chinese Herb Garden and greenhouses will follow.

There will be a special tour by Tony Harrison for RCHM members and other Chinese herbalists. The event is open to everyone - no need to book - and we hope you can come and enjoy the event and meet up with friends.
