I grew up in Maine, and both my grandmothers lived in a small town in NH. My Austrian Oma was very into herbal remedies, and between her and my Memere (who still hunts and fishes and snowshoes at 93) I got a great counterbalance to my Mom's nursing education. That balance has followed me throughout my life. We just lost our partner herb store last March because of a ban on Kratom (which our partner had grown into a very niche business in our area), and we had somewhere around 100-150 organic herbs and blends there. Since that I've been sort of licking my wounds, still handing out leftovers we had but not continuing my education. I am psyched to see if I can find this, I think I need a book like this now and since my Oma is gone I feel like Juilette will be a friendly familiar teacher <3
