I came across the perfect quote that resonates so well with me right now while I was reading Popular Medicine in 13th Century England. There is a short chapter on timing of gathering plants for medicine and in that is the following quote from a 15th Century leechbook, “And those herbs that have been gathered in the field be better than those that grow in the town and garden.”
This is THE perfect motto for a SCA Forester-Apothecary. I do have a small garden and herb garden, and plan to plant more herbs this spring as I research this winter. But there is something about gathering of wild plants that really just resonates with me.
The whole quote can be seen below.
