Our pocket guide ‚First Aid using Wayside Plants‘
How did this book come about?
Strictly speaking, my wife and I just put together our knowledge as a botanical biologist and a physician spezialized in herbal medicine. We just wrote down what we do in our free time anyway to switch off and relax:
Discovering plants in nature, taking pictures and, of course, finding out what healing powers they have.
The 2nd German edition is in progress and an English edition is being prepared for publication.
If you happen to know a publisher who would be interested in publishing our book in Great Britain, we would be very happy to receive a message at: green@waysidetreasures.uk

Last but not least: Hits for kids – what can children get excited about when the path gets too long for them, they get impatient and don’t feel like continuing?
