About this Blog

Across the Earth, prehistoric man's discovery that some plants harm & others heal was the origin of ancient myths & early medicine & botany & horticulture. Europe's arrival in the America spawned explorers eager to find "new" plants, that Native Americans had created myths about & had used for millennia. In the 19C US, plant-hunters, both men & women!, emerged from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
