Thank you Henriette, I love your site, it has everything I need, keep up the good work. Canadian gardener.
Your site is wonderful thank you. blessings
Your site is amazing, a wealth of knowledge in the tomes, i have no experience with herbs at all, i found your site looking for information on datura strominium because of a co-worker had told me about it's "visionary" qualities, but i have been steered clear of now, thanks to your in-depth information on all herbs. Since visiting here i have become very interested in herbal healing and affects. Thank you for opening a door to a new world.
love to read, hear, and know all I can about herbs.
I love the photos especially the coreopsis. I started gardening last year and fell in love with these plants. I love the dainty flowers and they are so easy to grow that I just planted 30 pots yesterday. Even without a green thumb, some of them are bound to flourish. Thank you for the beautiful photos. Happy gardening. Julianne
Hi Henriette;
I love your site! Thank you. I have been growing herbs in Canada for 12 years and have appreciated your photos of herbs for the northern climate - especially Roseroot and Maralroot. Keep celebrating the plant/human symbiosis!

PS: Can I email you my favorite photo of a honeybee on my Maralroot?
What an enjoyable website !!
I am researching "Acanthus". Widely used in Greek and church architecture. Why? What are the properties of Acanthus (besides having attractive leaves)? So far I haven't found answers - not even on the site of another Henriette.
with best wishes from England

I love the information and the pictures are great!
I saw a beautiful, fragrant specimen of edgeworthia chrysanta 2/20/04 at Hendrick's Park In Eugene Oregon, and I am wordering if this plant would survive in the Sacramento valley.
i will try to perfect the bibliographical data about Lloyd's history of veg'
better to have seen it once then to have heard of it a thousand times.
Henriette - Thank you.
I first came across your website when looking for a web copy of Maud Grieves "A Modern Herbal" for a student assignment last year. I'm not sure which I did first - get the info I wanted or spend several hours absorbed in your site and devouring the delights thereof.
I return frequently for information and for fun - I've just spent a very nerdy hour laughing my socks off at some of the stuff on Best of RHOD (way too close to my day job).
So - thank you.

I found you by crusing the web, and couldn't help but try and see what happens. If I sign in to your "Guest Book", I send best regards. Henriette
Cool!
I like your site very much. very helpful and informative. I would like to see links to scientific studies, especially supposed cancer cures as I know someone with it.
You're looking for phytotherapy. I don't do that - I do herbal medicine.
Iam doing 45Acres of Herbal plants cultivation in Tamil Nadu India in Organic way intrested in planting exotic species of herbal plants
What a fab site! I am a novice outdoor herb grower and this site has been really helpful. Thanks for the coriander info especially.
Very interesting, I am looking into herbal medicines used in eastern usa in the 1700's (research for a book)...they most likely are english in origin, but using local herbs
I writea monthly column for a woodturning association
That's nice.
Great Website, THANK YOU! you're the only one who gave me a true sounding solution!!! (my wife has no drive anymore, and i am tired of being frustrated all the time)
Now my only chalenge is to find where I can get a Decoction of Black Willow Aments or Buds. Apparently dried aments don't work, the decoction must be made from fresh. If you happen to know, please let me know.
Sure, unless it's still in the megabytes.
