Amy Dadachanji was called to sit and stare at the trees, in the grasses and flowers of the meadows, by the flowing rivers of her childhood. She would wonder what magic they held and how she might learn it. Then one day she realised she could. She had travelled the world and learned Ayurveda, yoga, massage and how to live gently on the earth. But it wasn't enough. She yearned for connection between people and plants. Finally she found herbal medicine. She trained as a medical herbalist with the most amazing people and plant teachers and founded The Wild Apothecary in 2006, seeing patients, teaching and drawing plants. She is Amy Dadachanji and is a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, everyone calls her Ames and she is your author and illustrator, hoping she has done her job in enabling you to connect with nature.
