Interactive guide to Czech medicinal herbs — when to harvest, how to dry, what they help with, and what to avoid.
My girlfriend collects herbs. She goes out, picks them, dries them, blends them. She has her grandmother's recipes for mixtures she uses throughout the year. She knows what she's doing and enjoys it.
One day she told me she'd like an app. Something where she'd have it all together — when to pick what, how to process it, what it's for. Apparently nothing like that exists, she'd tried searching and found nothing decent.
So I decided to make it for her.
I wanted her to find things she already knows, and also plenty of things she has no idea about. Herbs we walk past every day without knowing what they are. Their uses, what to watch out for, when to harvest, how to dry them properly, how to combine them. Something that would enrich her and push her further in what she enjoys.
We love going on trips. She always observes the surroundings and explores what's growing around us. The Herbarium is therefore a great companion on the road. A field guide you always have in your pocket. You look at a plant, find it, read what you need to know and move on. No complications, no unnecessary information.
Simple, compact. Exactly what she'd been looking for all along, and I'm glad I could create it for her.
