I am a scientist and complementary medicine practitioner. My main interests are in plants and how we can use them. I love learning about new plants and sharing the stories I have found in my talks, blogs or books.
I co-devised the Chemicals from Plants Trail at Cambridge University Botanic Garden and published a book on an extended version called "Molecules, Medicine and Mischief", in 2014, which was reprinted in 2019. I am a Bach flower remedy practitioner and in 2018 published my second book, "The Plants of Dr Bach", on the plants used to make the remedies.
