We live in zone 3 - considered VERY cold :) High desert etc. Mountainous region in NW USA-Rocky mountains. Cannot grow up here without a greenhouse @ 3500'. Very short season etc. Snowing today. But our mountain has an abundance of wild herbs - everywhere. So, we consider ourselves blessed. Many a lovely walk with our border collie collecting all the gifts that God's provides in the early spring months.
Basically, the plant zones divide the U.S. into areas and mainly tell us the lowest temperature F that perennial plants can survive. A plant in zones 1 - 6 can survive colder winters. Zones 7 - 10 are for the plants that wouldn't survive winters of zero degrees F or below. I think that the chemicals sprayed on produce that's sold in grocery stores also contribute to people's illnesses. Besides that, they don't taste very good anymore. For example, there's a huge difference in the taste of tomatoes sold in the stores to the ones I grow in my garden. Thank you for sharing those books with us. They all sound very interesting. It seems that we tend to know more about the internal workings of our computers than those of our bodies. Two of the books I've learned a lot from are: 'The Homesteaders' Herbal Companion' by Amy Fewell and, of course, Rosemary Gladstar's 'Medicinal Herbs, A Beginner's Guide.
There is a new way of looking zones now because of the climate change, and there are now heat zones. How warm can plants tolerate temperatures. Sad but now necessary. Reading keeps me relatively sane.
I'm in zone 5, where plants can survive to -20°F. One day of -24°F was enough to kill several young zone 5 perennials for me. Each Ag zone is graded by minimum and maximum temperatures.
@@jeanneamato8278yes. Recently my zone 5 garden has experienced zone 4A winters and 6A summers. I no longer buy zone 5 perennials because I've lost them in a cold snap.
@@jeanneamato8278 What's sad about the changing climate? It's a natural process that always happened and always will. Best just to get used to it and adapt, like our ancestors did.
I am working my way thru my course work to become a certified herbalist in the US. After being in the medical field for over 20 years, I have begun to really see things in a different like. I love your book suggestions and am going to look into them. I love your videos! Thank you for those pearls of wisdom.
PDR for HERBAL MEDICINE is good and How To Be Your Own Herbal Pharmacist by Linda Rector Page P.H.D., N.D.! The Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook by James Green! 🍃🌿☮️
Hello Maureen R. I too am 'working my way through' to earn certification as a herbalist. Truly, once someone starts studying plant medicine, they never look at their own backyard the same way. Good luck on your journey. Blessings from Canada.🍁
"Nourishing Traditions" is an excellent book! I have one, bought one for my daughter, and have an extra on my shelf for some lucky soul who is interested 😊
Sally Fallon's books are wonderful. I raised my children back in the 90s on her book and still refer to her books today - you will love it! I first started making bone broth and ferments years ago because of her. You are so right about people's diets of fake food - it is scarey and we wonder why we have so much obesity and diabetes these days. Eat real food, drink pure, unchlorinated, flouride free water and don't use chemicals anywhere. Nature provides all we need. I hear from people they don't have time to prepare food. When my children were little I worked full time and made all my weekly meals on Sundays and froze extras too so we always had ready made but real food. Make it a priority. Our health and well being are worth it. Thanks for sharing what you are reading. I just finished Lucy Pearce books She of the Sea and Creatrix - both excellent. I also read Wintering and Enchanted, both by Katherine May. Think you would enjoy thoe too. Imbolic Blessings
I love the beginning of your video's, the beautiful horse was splendid! ❤ Horses ~ All the Light's you Cannot See was a mini series on Netflix, excellent story of courage. Your little teapots on the bench were adorable! 💛 ☕️ 🌱
I love that you ordered more books and enjoy sitting with them. I was an avid reader once and have many herb books, cookbooks plus other interests I have but the bloody internet has ruined me. It's my own fault. It's so much easier to google something. I have been thinking of changing this for a while now, I just need to make the effort. I needed this today. I loved All the light we cannot see. Read it years back and the mini series wasn't half bad. You might like Louise Erdrich's books. I have read all of them. I am on Goodreads and checked off many of the books I have read. I wish I had written down all of them. I'd fill a book. It will be a few more months before I can sow seeds.
PS/ couldn't help notice you had a few books written by John Steinback, me too! He was a very good friend of my mum's, & based a character on her from the story 'Tortilla Flat'.🌹
Love, love, love knowing what you read. So inspiring. Interested in the Grow your own drugs on your shelf, as well as the others!, shall look for it. Reminded me to start sowing my seeds. Thank you.
By the way, I was recently in hospital and had fasted for a long time.I asked for some food( Im veggie and dont like cheese and eggs).I was given a cellophane wrapped wilting cheapest white sliced " bread" with orange processed cheese.J just went hungry.The food thing is overwhelming.
Hello Terri, Lol and all your furry and feathery friends.. I have 2 of the books you mentioned and read them often. The Healing Garden and Robin Rose Bennett's book.. Because I'm in the US and the desert, much is different in how we garden and what I can grow but I just love learning about your herbal allies and seeing how your garden grows. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and the most picturesque scenery. Blessings to you always 💜
I knew I shouldn’t have clicked on this video 😏….. I love books and knew there’d be something in here I’d just have to buy 😳🥴😂😂😂😂…. I have a similar book to the plant book you have called, “Floriogarphy”…. Florilegium looks splendid! Guess I’m using up my book budget for the month 🤔😉🥰….ha ha ha your house looks similar to mine…I have a bookshelf in every room…sometimes two! I can’t begin to say what my favorite books are there are so many…besides it would be like deciding which of my kids I like best 🥴… coming to mind to fulfill your request are: What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon; Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah; …The Native American Herbalists Bible; Magic and Medicine of Plants put out by the Reader’s Digest years ago, The Herbal Medicine-Maker’s Handbook by James Green…The Storyteller’s Secret by Sejal Badani; The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben…just a few…. I’m reading The Echo of Lost Books (among others lol) right now…I always have a few different genres going at one time…can’t help myself 😉🤷🏼♀️….Have a great week!
Thank you for sharing your books. I have begun reading The Foxfire series of books. About the Appalachian way of life, self sufficiency, natural remedies, home crafts and so much more. Basically the virtues of simple living. Blessings from Texas.
dear Terri....thank you for showing the books.........................you are right,books are our friends.......I have ordered a lot of herb books so I will learn.....................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel Germany☘☘☘xx
Hello Terri, good day to you - it had been a while since you had popped up in my feed, this is a delightful surprise :) after discovering the book of Kells thanks to you, I'm very much looking forward to getting these titles as well. Have a lovely rest of your day!
Hi Terri and Lol, Yes we are what we eat!! The bioma of our intestines is directly connected to our levels of consciousness, hence to our vibrational spirituality!!! I will get the books for my sis, she is studying to be a herbologist!!! My brother just got the nursery started. From Montreal to the laurentians the temperature changes, just 70km away and the soil and weather is much colder, no good for certain plants... we are going with two hydroponic towers for herbs, for all year round results... Yes we are one with the plants... Love the books and the tea cups with plants!!!! Blessings and blessings and more blessings!!!! I feel you are part of my spiritual family!!!! 😃🙏🌹🍎
I wish it was gardening season here! We are still in the frozen snowy winter. What a lovely collection of books! Your kitty looks like he's quite old. One of mine is about 18 and starting to slow down. Do you only have the one kitty? Thank you for the video. Blessings 🙏
My most precious book is a 1790 herbal called The Family Herbal by Meyrick, I refer to it regularly and it is a treasure. I'm also still fond of Elizabeth Goudge's books, The White Witch and Herb of Grace. I've had them since I was a child and they got me interested in natural healing. Thanks so much for your recommendations and your lovely video.
Fab . My two favourite pastimes. Herbal gardening and reading 😊 I’ve just read a exceptionally good book called The Midnight Library by Matt Haig … well worth a read 🙏
Thank you for sharing your books, maybe I'll purchase a few to add to my library and maybe borrow a couple from the town library. It's always a joy to watch your channel. I always come away feeling inspired.
Sally Fallon is an excellent authority on nourishing foods. Enjoy her book. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey was a book that I loved for its descriptions of the harsh Alaskan landscape. I’ve always loved Alaska for some reason

I grow everything organically but I'm noticing more and more spraying of chemtrails in the sky!they really are affecting our health as well as our ability to grow good healthy food. I've now made covers for each of my raised beds and grow more in my poly tunnel 😢 Charles Dowding is noticing this too. #LookUp
The Lost Queesn and The Forgotten Kingdom by Signe Pike are so wonderful! I'm waiting on the 3rd book with bated breath. The writing is luscious, and you will love the characters. A story of women and their destinies, how they struggle with them, and how they come to embrace them powerfully. Magic, Scottish countryside, mystery, and druidry of a sort....
Thank you for all your lovely book recommendations - they look great! I think you would really enjoy a book called 'All my wild mothers' by Victoria Bennett (the paperback version has just come out on 1st Feb too.) It's a memoir about motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden. It's beautifully written, uplifting and each new chapter starts with a description of and herbal uses/folklore of some of the 'weeds' of Cumbria, north west England. There's a subtle link between each plant and the memories which follow too. It's an absolutely delightful and deeply moving book - I can't recommend it highly enough! 🥰💗
I just love that your home is full of books. Mine too. Gardening books, herbal books, legend and lore, fact and fiction. Hundreds, and I can't bear to part with any of them
What a wonderful episode! Thank you so much. I can't find the list of the books, though. One book (of very many) that I could recommend is ''Moon Time'' by Johanna Paunger which is about the ideal time to do anything - sowing and planting, herbs and much, much more. Written by an Austrian woman many moons ago and translated into English, it's a real ''go-to-book'' and includes things like when to build and what wood to use etc.. I hope it still in print. It's a gem on how to be self-sufficient.
Its great that you're sharing your love of books. I love the related topics. I always think how over the centuries we lost/forgot/ ignored what our ancestors knew about self sufficiency and what is naturally available to us. I hope everything goes full circle. It seems as if there is a revival. I think people are starting to realise the damage, greed and corruption of big pharma too. It's about getting the balance and best of both worlds. ❤
Lovely books and information and links thank you. When do you have to time to read busy lady. ☺️one of my fav booklets is the farmers almanac here in USA farmers go by the guide including a furry black line on a caterpillar they use to tell if the winter will be cold or mild. Depends on the strip of the wooly caterpillar. Planting guides etc month things. My little sons and I, back in the 1980smarched once for a homeopathic dr to make a statement, as this dr saved his son by. Eating a macrobiotic diet and eat what’s in your area and in season and this method saved his life from leukemia. The state of New York took his kid away temporarily thinking it’s cruel to take the kid off of chemo. the little boys was dying quickly at age 2 from chemo, he as t responding and as we all know it’s a heavy chemical and doesn’t make you want to eat and the little boy wasn’t eating. He went back home as all the drs patients marched for his cause as a father a dr he would do a what he thought was well for the child’s well being and the. The child went back home . True story owego New York 1980s. The child is now alive still due to the homeopathic ways and vegetarian eating and micro biotic diet. A grown man. I said in the papers we are what we eat. Hence, our lives are only as well is how we eat what we eat and yay for the books.a frame of mind but healthy growing foods and eat as it was in the beginning. Our plants are our medicine.
Hi dearest Teri, I found your taste and your choice of books flawless. It was very much appreciated. Thank you and I hope that showing to us books you love will become a standing feature of Danu's Irish Herb Garden videos. Love to you all!
I'm currently "reading " The Hike Life by Roz Purcell. It's all about hikes around Ireland, has really beautiful photographs and practical information for getting out and about
Uhh gardening and books my two best things in the world ! Oh I do love a good murder, Agatha Christie is a queen of murder plot. Ann Cleeves is brilliant, I am devouring her Vera series now. Simon Brett and his Fethering Mysteries is a good read too and of course the fabulous MC Beaton and her Agatha Rasin series - brilliant !
Margaret Atwood 'Oryx & Crake ' Barbara Kingsolver 'The Lacuna' Clive Barker 'Weaveworld'✨ Non Fiction: Vincent Bevins 'The Jakarta Method' (I could go on as I am book mad too)
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. Wonderful book, and author! I think Terri would really enjoy it. Her family's experiment of eating locally and in season for a year was very interesting and her writing is entertaining as well. ❤
Oh Terri! Thank you for this video. I have Juliet Blankespoor's 'The Healing Garden'. It is a beautiful book. I've made Juliet's 'Nourishing Skin Tea' recipe (p 261). I also have 'Medicinal Herbs' by Rosemary Gladstar. I've made quite a few featured recipes from this book. Another choice of mine is 'Foraging and Feasting, A Field Guide and Wild Foods Cookbook'. I treated myself to this one when I finished a select herbal program, and I purchased a second copy for a sweet couple as a wedding gift. I recently purchased the 5 book set by Dr. Jill Stansbury ND, 'Herbal Formularies For Health Professionals'. I'm a student of herbal studies, but hope someday to earn the honour of being called a 'Green Witch'. ... I have so many books. Have you ever read Anne of Green Gables? You must! This is a Canadian classic. I could go on and on ... Have a great week Terri and Lol. I'm looking forward to next week's video. Blessings from Canada 🍁
Absolutely loved this film! 💖 Thank you. The most interesting people are people who love books. I'm a writer also (but relatively boring). I'm a law professor who writes books about law. If you need to know the law, they are quite good, and have been best sellers for years. But what I love reading is books about plants, herbalism, shamanism, and the connections between our world and the broader spiritual realm. Peace be with you friend. 💖🕊🍀
Congratulations John, on having best sellers. They won't be boring, I am sure, for people who love reading about law. I have quite a few books about shamanism too - very fascinating subject. Brian Bates's book brings me to tears. xx
Good morning! Always love learning of books to read and add to my library. This morning still recovering from the earthquake that the epicenter was just a mile away. Definitely got me started on spring cleaning. All animals are fine in spite of the damage and cracks in the drywall.
Great visit with you & thanks for sharing! I haven’t read many books but do lots of reading about food, health & gardening online. When I do find a good book about someone’s lifestyles & the way they achieved their life, I find it so hard to put down. One of my favourites was “Random Passage” but I don’t recall the author right now. It is based on the true life of Irish families that came by ship to Newfoundland, Canada, & somehow survived the horrible hardships of a desolate land. There was also a sequel to that story that I don’t recall the name of. Blessings to all🤗🇨🇦
One of my most favorite herbal book is an older one. It's called The Green Pharmacy by James A. Duke Ph.D.. I believe written in late nineties. It's very interesting & informative.
Thank you for this video - I love reading, and reading all different genera's, especially self help books, but also fiction. I loved Patrick and the Island of Air as a child, and still think it is a special book. I picked it up at a scout fair, and it is still treasured all these years later, as I am now 66 years young. xxx
I live in Missouri, USA. We sow our potatoes,garlic, and onions on St. Patrick's Day. Rain or shine or snow...a tradition. My father and his father and his father, etc. I love reading. I'll have to get that Florilegium book. I absolutely love botanical books, herb books, and gardening books. I also just bought 3 different books that deal with my local Ozark folklore and herbalism. Was excited to get them. We are still in winter here. The dandelions are just peeking through the ground. Missouri has a tendency of having freezes in April. Actually last year we had a hard freeze May 10th. So most things get planted post Mother's Day. Our zones are just that. The further north the colder and cooler it stays, the futher souther the warmer. Certain plants won't survive, whether the weather stays too cold or too warm. I'm central. We get super cold and super hot. Lol. I enjoyed your book haul. I'm a huge fantasy lover myself. Am caught up in a series by Adrian Tchaikovsky called Echoes of the Fall. Book 1 is The Tiger and the Wolf. Book 2 is The Bear and the Serpent. Book 3 is The Hyena and the Hawk. If you enjoy fantasy, I highly recommend it. Thanks so much for sharing!
Books, herbs, animals and Connemara beauty - "These are a few of my favourite things" to quote from the Sound of Music! I am so happy with all your book recommendations and immediately went online to look at them in more detail, many of which are now on my wish list. I have finally whittled it down to The Gift of Healing Herbs as my first treat to myself. It looks absolutely wonderful and from the excerpts I have read it resonates deeply with me too. I am tingling with excitement to receive it!!! Thank you for the recommendation. Blessings. xxx
Thank you for those recommendations and the lovely landscapes and music. I live in the U.S. and have been studying the various indigenous cultures and their philosophies. I love love love Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
😊Hi Terri, Happy longer light - Imbolc. My husband helped me burn my dried winter branches for Imbolc. I just immersed my plantain in alcohol to make more tincture. You put me on this herb. I did some research and found a comprehensive study in Switzerland and Karolinska Institute in Sweden. They have identified the active agent in plantain that breaks up the fibrin in arthritic joints. Thank you so much. My movement is much easier and the pain is gone. In the north of US our longitude and climate is similar to North Scotland and the Orkneys. Happy reading
Robin Rose Bennet's The Gift of Healing Herbs is really good 💚 One of my favorite stories is the Wise Child trilogy by Monica Furlong. Its written for children, but a story that anyone can get into! Its about a wise woman named Juniper and her secret life as a healer in Scotland and Wales, I think. Set maybe a couple hundred years ago.
I’m reading the Book of Kells by RA MacAvoy that you recommended previously. Fascinating. Also read Witch Light by Susan Fletcher. I loved this book so much ! The descriptions of the landscape ! Thank you for your recommendations. X
Cheeky chicken alert! 🚨🚨🚨. Funny, so many books on your bookshelf pan are also on my shelf or were till I started putting them into the little mini library box on the corner.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes - it's a small decorated box people make and put on the street in front of their yard. You take a book and replace with one you have read. There are hundreds in our town of all different looks and decoration from simple to elaborate to whimsical.
Her husband plays that guitar. It in general on UA-cam you have to post legally the music to obtain rights to use it or you get slapped with copyright infringement. I hope she answers you tho as she once said lul her husband plays the guitar but I know deuter music and it is not
No it's me, Terri's husband and I'm so glad you like the music. I've been trying to get the time to finish an album of these instrumentals that we've used on the channel but it's still not finished. Watch this space...

Thank you for sharing your books, maybe I'll purchase a few to add to my library and maybe borrow a couple from the town library. It's always a joy to watch your channel. I always come away feeling inspired.
Sally Fallon is an excellent authority on nourishing foods. Enjoy her book.
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey was a book that I loved for its descriptions of the harsh Alaskan landscape. I’ve always loved Alaska for some reason
Happy New year ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year Rahila, joy and peace to you xx

I grow everything organically but I'm noticing more and more spraying of chemtrails in the sky!they really are affecting our health as well as our ability to grow good healthy food.
I've now made covers for each of my raised beds and grow more in my poly tunnel 😢 Charles Dowding is noticing this too. #LookUp
Thank you for such a lovely video ❤ and for sharing your books with us ❤
Love You … Love Your Vids…!!! Makes Me Want to Move to Ireland….!!!
The Lost Queesn and The Forgotten Kingdom by Signe Pike are so wonderful! I'm waiting on the 3rd book with bated breath. The writing is luscious, and you will love the characters. A story of women and their destinies, how they struggle with them, and how they come to embrace them powerfully. Magic, Scottish countryside, mystery, and druidry of a sort....
OOh! Sounds great. thanks for the recommendation xx
Thank you for all your lovely book recommendations - they look great! I think you would really enjoy a book called 'All my wild mothers' by Victoria Bennett (the paperback version has just come out on 1st Feb too.) It's a memoir about motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden. It's beautifully written, uplifting and each new chapter starts with a description of and herbal uses/folklore of some of the 'weeds' of Cumbria, north west England. There's a subtle link between each plant and the memories which follow too. It's an absolutely delightful and deeply moving book - I can't recommend it highly enough! 🥰💗
That sounds like a wonderful book! I will be looking for that one. Thank you!
A great book ,,One Simple Thing by Eddie Stern…all about the science of yoga and much more.
I just love that your home is full of books. Mine too. Gardening books, herbal books, legend and lore, fact and fiction. Hundreds, and I can't bear to part with any of them
What a wonderful episode! Thank you so much.
I can't find the list of the books, though.
One book (of very many) that I could recommend is ''Moon Time'' by Johanna Paunger which is about the ideal time to do anything - sowing and planting, herbs and much, much more. Written by an Austrian woman many moons ago and translated into English, it's a real ''go-to-book'' and includes things like when to build and what wood to use etc.. I hope it still in print. It's a gem on how to be self-sufficient.
I have it, it is very handy x
Its great that you're sharing your love of books. I love the related topics. I always think how over the centuries we lost/forgot/ ignored what our ancestors knew about self sufficiency and what is naturally available to us. I hope everything goes full circle. It seems as if there is a revival. I think people are starting to realise the damage, greed and corruption of big pharma too. It's about getting the balance and best of both worlds. ❤
I think you are right. Things are slowly changing and people looking for more natural and real ways to take care of themselves. sxx
Fantastic Videos...say a Blessing...for Northern Ireland
I worry about the Direction taken
Looking beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely books and information and links thank you. When do you have to time to read busy lady. ☺️one of my fav booklets is the farmers almanac here in USA farmers go by the guide including a furry black line on a caterpillar they use to tell if the winter will be cold or mild. Depends on the strip of the wooly caterpillar. Planting guides etc month things. My little sons and I, back in the 1980smarched once for a homeopathic dr to make a statement, as this dr saved his son by. Eating a macrobiotic diet and eat what’s in your area and in season and this method saved his life from leukemia. The state of New York took his kid away temporarily thinking it’s cruel to take the kid off of chemo. the little boys was dying quickly at age 2 from chemo, he as t responding and as we all know it’s a heavy chemical and doesn’t make you want to eat and the little boy wasn’t eating. He went back home as all the drs patients marched for his cause as a father a dr he would do a what he thought was well for the child’s well being and the. The child went back home . True story owego New York 1980s. The child is now alive still due to the homeopathic ways and vegetarian eating and micro biotic diet. A grown man. I said in the papers we are what we eat. Hence, our lives are only as well is how we eat what we eat and yay for the books.a frame of mind but healthy growing foods and eat as it was in the beginning. Our plants are our medicine.
What a struggle - thank god the parents persisted. xx
So many great book recommendations!! Thanks.
Hi dearest Teri, I found your taste and your choice of books flawless. It was very much appreciated. Thank you and I hope that showing to us books you love will become a standing feature of Danu's Irish Herb Garden videos. Love to you all!
I’ve used Nourishing Traditions for years. It is an excellent historical source for how our forebears used to prepare foods. Highly recommend!
Ive recently discovered your channel and I'm a complete newbie. I love your videos, theyre so uplifting 😊
Welcome!! I hope you will enjoy all the videos and keep in touch. x
Thank you Terri, I love books so I enjoyed this video, thanks for your books review 🙂🙌🏼🌸🌿🌱
I'm currently "reading " The Hike Life by Roz Purcell. It's all about hikes around Ireland, has really beautiful photographs and practical information for getting out and about
Can I borrow it???
gosh i love your books. thank you for sharing. wish the chickens could find you another spot for a bookshelf. = )
Uhh gardening and books my two best things in the world ! Oh I do love a good murder, Agatha Christie is a queen of murder plot. Ann Cleeves is brilliant, I am devouring her Vera series now. Simon Brett and his Fethering Mysteries is a good read too and of course the fabulous MC Beaton and her Agatha Rasin series - brilliant !
I loved Agatha Christie when I was younger, so clever
Lucky you to already be able to start your garden. I live in Massachusetts and the ground frozen solid! Love all your videos! so relaxing.
Same here in the Adirondacks 😊So nice to see her greenery
All the light u cannt see was on as a film over christmas I loved it
Thank you :)
Thank you. I do so love books x
I love all that Philip Carr-Gomm has ever written and just started a used copy of his The Book of English Magic. Priceless!
He was the Chief Druid at one time - have a couple of his books too xx
Margaret Atwood 'Oryx & Crake '
Barbara Kingsolver
'The Lacuna'
Clive Barker
'Weaveworld'✨
Non Fiction:
Vincent Bevins
'The Jakarta Method'
(I could go on as I am book mad too)
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. Wonderful book, and author! I think Terri would really enjoy it. Her family's experiment of eating locally and in season for a year was very interesting and her writing is entertaining as well. ❤
Oh Terri! Thank you for this video. I have Juliet Blankespoor's 'The Healing Garden'. It is a beautiful book. I've made Juliet's 'Nourishing Skin Tea' recipe (p 261). I also have 'Medicinal Herbs' by Rosemary Gladstar. I've made quite a few featured recipes from this book. Another choice of mine is 'Foraging and Feasting, A Field Guide and Wild Foods Cookbook'. I treated myself to this one when I finished a select herbal program, and I purchased a second copy for a sweet couple as a wedding gift. I recently purchased the 5 book set by Dr. Jill Stansbury ND, 'Herbal Formularies For Health Professionals'. I'm a student of herbal studies, but hope someday to earn the honour of being called a 'Green Witch'. ... I have so many books. Have you ever read Anne of Green Gables? You must! This is a Canadian classic. I could go on and on ... Have a great week Terri and Lol. I'm looking forward to next week's video. Blessings from Canada 🍁
I love Anne of Green Gables - a beautiful book on so many levels - and the sequels. xx
'Where the lost things go' is also a song that Mary Poppins sings to the children who have lost their mother... makes me cry every time 😢
Happy Sunday terri,exited to watch,xxcomments afterwards xx
My late mum has a jumper just like yours, that I've treasured. Thanks for your heart warming videos
You are so welcome! xx Big hug!
I'm always happy to get your videos. Thank you.
happy sunday !!
Absolutely loved this film! 💖 Thank you. The most interesting people are people who love books. I'm a writer also (but relatively boring). I'm a law professor who writes books about law. If you need to know the law, they are quite good, and have been best sellers for years. But what I love reading is books about plants, herbalism, shamanism, and the connections between our world and the broader spiritual realm. Peace be with you friend. 💖🕊🍀
Congratulations John, on having best sellers. They won't be boring, I am sure, for people who love reading about law. I have quite a few books about shamanism too - very fascinating subject. Brian Bates's book brings me to tears. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ♥ Peace be with you friend.
Hi Terri🤗
Books, Books, Books! My favorite things😊 There are new ones (to me) in the group...which is always a good thing. Many thanks.
Good morning! Always love learning of books to read and add to my library. This morning still recovering from the earthquake that the epicenter was just a mile away. Definitely got me started on spring cleaning. All animals are fine in spite
of the damage and cracks in the drywall.
I heard about another earthquake in OK, sorry you have damage to your house. I didn't feel it, but some people up here in KC,Mo were awakened by it.
Great visit with you & thanks for sharing! I haven’t read many books but do lots of reading about food, health & gardening online. When I do find a good book about someone’s lifestyles & the way they achieved their life, I find it so hard to put down. One of my favourites was “Random Passage” but I don’t recall the author right now. It is based on the true life of Irish families that came by ship to Newfoundland, Canada, & somehow survived the horrible hardships of a desolate land. There was also a sequel to that story that I don’t recall the name of.
Blessings to all🤗🇨🇦
Thank you - I will see if I can find it. xx
One of my most favorite herbal book is an older one. It's called The Green Pharmacy by James A. Duke Ph.D.. I believe written in late nineties. It's very interesting & informative.
One of the first herbal med books I ever got - a gem of a book, I love it xx
I’m always delighted to see you back again and to hear the birds chirping ❤ I’d be interested some of those books too Thank you!!
Good video, Terri. Upbeat, lively, and informative. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it. xx
Thank you for this video - I love reading, and reading all different genera's, especially self help books, but also fiction. I loved Patrick and the Island of Air as a child, and still think it is a special book. I picked it up at a scout fair, and it is still treasured all these years later, as I am now 66 years young. xxx
I live in Missouri, USA. We sow our potatoes,garlic, and onions on St. Patrick's Day. Rain or shine or snow...a tradition. My father and his father and his father, etc.
I love reading. I'll have to get that Florilegium book. I absolutely love botanical books, herb books, and gardening books. I also just bought 3 different books that deal with my local Ozark folklore and herbalism. Was excited to get them. We are still in winter here. The dandelions are just peeking through the ground. Missouri has a tendency of having freezes in April. Actually last year we had a hard freeze May 10th. So most things get planted post Mother's Day.
Our zones are just that. The further north the colder and cooler it stays, the futher souther the warmer. Certain plants won't survive, whether the weather stays too cold or too warm. I'm central. We get super cold and super hot. Lol. I enjoyed your book haul. I'm a huge fantasy lover myself. Am caught up in a series by Adrian Tchaikovsky called Echoes of the Fall. Book 1 is The Tiger and the Wolf. Book 2 is The Bear and the Serpent. Book 3 is The Hyena and the Hawk. If you enjoy fantasy, I highly recommend it. Thanks so much for sharing!
Books, herbs, animals and Connemara beauty - "These are a few of my favourite things" to quote from the Sound of Music! I am so happy with all your book recommendations and immediately went online to look at them in more detail, many of which are now on my wish list. I have finally whittled it down to The Gift of Healing Herbs as my first treat to myself. It looks absolutely wonderful and from the excerpts I have read it resonates deeply with me too. I am tingling with excitement to receive it!!! Thank you for the recommendation. Blessings. xxx
You will love it xx
Thank you for the interesting books❤
My vision is decling so I listen to audiobooks. Romance
Hi, That rooster you have is a beauty. What breed is he?
Not sure - I got him from my brother.
You can look up your zone, it's not exclusively American we all have one
Thank you for those recommendations and the lovely landscapes and music. I live in the U.S. and have been studying the various indigenous cultures and their philosophies. I love love love Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
😊Hi Terri, Happy longer light - Imbolc. My husband helped me burn my dried winter branches for Imbolc. I just immersed my plantain in alcohol to make more tincture. You put me on this herb. I did some research and found a comprehensive study in Switzerland and Karolinska Institute in Sweden. They have identified the active agent in plantain that breaks up the fibrin in arthritic joints. Thank you so much. My movement is much easier and the pain is gone. In the north of US our longitude and climate is similar to North Scotland and the Orkneys. Happy reading
Wonderful! Great to hear your pain is relieved xx
Robin Rose Bennet's The Gift of Healing Herbs is really good 💚 One of my favorite stories is the Wise Child trilogy by Monica Furlong. Its written for children, but a story that anyone can get into! Its about a wise woman named Juniper and her secret life as a healer in Scotland and Wales, I think. Set maybe a couple hundred years ago.
Thanks for that
I’m reading the Book of Kells by RA MacAvoy that you recommended previously. Fascinating. Also read Witch Light by Susan Fletcher. I loved this book so much ! The descriptions of the landscape ! Thank you for your recommendations. X
The lost book of herbal remedies is one I like to look at.
I love John Connelly's books. He's a wonderful storyteller and writer. Thanks for the book recommendations.
You're so welcome!
Good morning my Sweet lady
Thank you so much for the book reviews! I've been doing the WAP way of eating for decades. It's wonderful.
Cheeky chicken alert! 🚨🚨🚨. Funny, so many books on your bookshelf pan are also on my shelf or were till I started putting them into the little mini library box on the corner.
Cheeky chickens for sure! What is a mini library box? Is it something for the community?
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes - it's a small decorated box people make and put on the street in front of their yard. You take a book and replace with one you have read. There are hundreds in our town of all different looks and decoration from simple to elaborate to whimsical.
What is that beautiful music? Is it Deuter? Lovely video as always ❤️.
Her husband plays that guitar. It in general on UA-cam you have to post legally the music to obtain rights to use it or you get slapped with copyright infringement. I hope she answers you tho as she once said lul her husband plays the guitar but I know deuter music and it is not
No it's me, Terri's husband and I'm so glad you like the music. I've been trying to get the time to finish an album of these instrumentals that we've used on the channel but it's still not finished. Watch this space...
@lolhardiman5247 it's so lovely! Enchanting. Thank you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Here in the middle of the states we have a couple of months more before spring arrives, it's so inspiring to see all you are doing. LOVE THE GREENHOUSE! thanks for the book recommendations.
