After the brother of a herbalist participated in a herbal hike led by Gerda Holzmann and was subsequently able to enjoy delicious wild herb dishes, he warmly recommended this book to us.
We think it's great too and would happily recommend it!

On every page, you can sense how connected she is to nature and quickly realize how well she knows about herbs and their uses in the medicine cabinet and the kitchen.

Gerda Holzmann describes 30 wild herbs* and answers important questions:
How do you collect wild herbs correctly?
In which season do you harvest which herb?
Which parts of the plant are processed – leaves, flowers or fruits?
Which of these plants are suitable for your own garden, flowerbed, balcony or even flowerpot?
Do you propagate it by root or by seed?
What benefits do these plants have for our health?

Easy-to-follow, simple recipes tempt you to make your own teas, tinctures, juices, ointments, and delicious wild herb dishes.

* From field pansies, mugwort, comfrey, ground ivy and meadowsweet to horsetail.

The book is also a visual delight – like all books from the Innsbruck-based LöwenzahnVerlag, which not only focuses on ecology in its content, but also produces sustainably and avoids the use of plastic film.
