Foraging in Norway

🍀 WYLDE is a collection of episodes in English, where I - Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 - talk with fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. 

Mari Jerstad has a degree in organic agriculture and herbal medicine. She is a forager, a storyteller, and a herbal medicine practitioner. Her journey with plants started as a child, spending time outside with the plants, just enjoying their beauty and their relation to the sun, which now has brought us here, having a beautiful and warm conversation.

About being inspired by her great aunt, who looked at herbs from a practical point of view as a nurse, but also as something spiritual.
About what triggered Mari to become a herbalist and her studies in Norway and England.
About how chemistry can be beautiful and fun.
About how people in Norway look at herbalism and herbal medicine, and the legal framework around it.
About the Herb Garden Community in Oslo and how this project helps to reconnect people and plants.
About dealing with Norweagian winters as a forager and a herabist and the blessings of different seasons.
About working with refugees and how she got involved in the mobile herbal clinic in Calais.

And lots more.
