When I went to the cloisters and saw the magnificant herb garden, I was very exiced and ever since I have been looking for herbs such as vervain and comfrey and this herb that I cannot fr the life of me remember it's name, but it used to be used to color pages of books with the gold color of it's stem. Can anyone tellme where I can obtain some of the medicinal and magical herba that were at the cloisters?

Good luck with your project, and enjoy your research! Dear Lana,

The church was built in 1838. The inner court yard needs some work, in fact lots of work. Since it is a church and planting flowers, herbs from that time would be appropriate. So I am researching what would work in the environment and educational prospects. I have been to the clositers numerous times and just love the place. I have been to Europe numerous times and have seen many churches. The clositers take me back for a while to Europe. There is a church in Brooklyn that has a small clositered garden.
