The Orchard

The Cistercian Order were revolutionary in 12th century Europe, as they strictly applied the motto “Ora et labora”, making the monks work the land with their own hands. Working the land provided them not only with the food they needed, but the cultivation of medicinal plants also supplied the pharmacist monk with the elements he would use to make balms, ointments or plasters, which were then made available to their vassals.
