Pennie Latin visits an aromatic plant lovers' paradise on the Black Isle.

Pennie Latin visits a plant lovers' paradise on the Black Isle which grows over 400 varieties of culinary, aromatic and medicinal herbs.

Did you know that a common plant found in your rock garden could treat a scold or a burn? Or, have you heard of a leafy, Scottish plant with leaves that taste like oysters? Pennie Latin gets a lesson in all things herbaceous from Duncan and Yuriko Ross at Poyntzfield herb nursery in the Black Isle. Their nursery contains over 400 herbs from all of over the world, some aromatic, the rest are for culinary and medicinal purposes. 

Whilst Duncan talks about the medicinal herbs with Pennie and Richard, Yuriko gets busy in the kitchen with the herbs, using them to make a very special, Japanese kitchen garden feast.
