Stories Told by Elders

Here you will find a collection of stories, memories and small pieces of knowledge that came to us through the people we met during this project. We had the privilege to spend time with adults aged 60+, listening to their experiences and the ways they have used medicinal plants throughout their lives.

These are not textbook descriptions, but real-life knowledge shared in conversations, personal stories and everyday practices. Some of it comes from childhood memories, some from family traditions, and some from years of lived experience with nature and healing.

We are grateful for the openness and generosity with which these stories were shared. This section offers just a glimpse into that rich and living knowledge – something that connects generations and keeps the wisdom of plants alive in a very human way.
