As a child, I had a habit of collecting wild plants and pretending to make food and medicine with the plants I had gathered. I even tried to get my little sister to eat small pieces of our house plants when my mother wasn’t looking! This being said, I think my interest in plants and botanical medicine started at a very early age… I hope the same will apply for my children 🙂
This is my daughter Emunah…
