Growing Plant Medicine

by Richo Cech, Sena Cech (Illustrator)

“Growing Plant Medicine, Vol. 1” Theory and practice of natural garden techniques, newly augmented with bioregional medicinal plant recommendations, garden plans and materia medica. Arranged by plant families, alphabetically by kinship and common name. Families A through H. The rest of the alphabet will be left to Volume 2, which is in production. Volume 1 is an extensive book and unique, including fine line drawings of the plants themselves, their leaves, seeds, sprouts, roots and flowers. The writing includes in-depth cultural information on a wide array of medicinal plants, delving into the fossil record, archaeology, ethnobotany, traditional medicinal uses, dosages, cultivation and preparation. Also poetry and storytelling. This is a personal book, filled with ruminations on gardening and herbalism coming from a lifetime of observing, growing and advocating for world medicinal herbs. I hope the information is helpful and that you enjoy the style.
