Greetings,
 
I need a bit of help, and I'm not sure where to start....
 
Over a dozen years ago, there was a one-page article in the back of a
National Geographic about one of the monasteries in England that was shut
down by Henry VIII.  They'd just opened it up again, and when the
restorers turned over the soil in the garden, plants that the monks had
planted started to sprout!  I kept the article, but it's hidden somewhere
in the files, and I'd like the full reference anyway.
 
Can anyone help me track it down, or even just the citation?  (And if
there have been any articles since that time of that garden, I'll glady
take those too!!
 
-Carowyn

A quick search in an online periodical database turned up an article
from U.S. News and World Report, 7/08/96, Vol. 121 Issue 2, p20,
"England welcomes back weld and mullein"  (I'll email you the very
short article.)  The monastery is is Mount Grace Priory in North
Yorkshire.

Searching on that specific name brings up the National Geographic
citation (though not the article itself) Mar97, Vol. 191 Issue 3,
p144.

I'll email you whatever else I can find that is full text, and with
the name of the site, I'm sure you can find a lot more.


In service,
Brighid

A quick search in EBSCOhost yielded the following article 
citation, which looks like it's what you're seeking:

p144, 1/4p, 1 color
Document Type:  Article
Subject Terms:
     HERBS
     MONASTERIES
Geographic Terms:
     ENGLAND
Abstract:
     Looks at how herbs that were grown by monks in 
England's Mount Grace Priory prior to 1539 have reappeared 
on the monastery's grounds in the 1990s. The reappearance 
of mullein and weld following archaeological excavation in 
1992.

Does anyone have access to this book?  If so, I am in desperate need  of a 
page number.  How I managed not to write that down is beyond me.
 
Many thanks
