Herb Team


Herb team researches the cultivation possibilities of aromatic herbs and medicinal herbs suitable for the Finnish climate. The research concentrates on the biomass production and quality of the species and varieties, which have adapted to the northern climate. Also a technique of organic cultivation is being developed.

The research is carried out in Karila, Mikkeli, with funds provided by society and private companies. Herb team cooperates with herbal research teams both from Finland and abroad.

In addition to conducting applicability tests and introducing new herb species, the team also reports on research results both nationally and internationally. The results are presented in scientific and trade journals and in several seminars and educational meetings. The team receives many visitor groups annually, both Finnish and foreign. Also many nationally significant collections are maintained in the research station: mint garden, liqueur garden, a collection of endangered Chinese medicinal herbs.

The Herb team is strengthened by Boreal Herb Center, Mikkeli project (2003-2005).

The team is headed by Bertalan Galambosi.
