The authors are sisters. Jillian VanNostrand is an independent, certified midwife and herbalist who attended home births for 15 years
and still teaches midwives and other health professionals. Christie V. Sarles is
an award-winning freelance librarian and an avocational herbalist and
teacher, with a special passion for wild gardening. Both sisters go mostly
barefoot. Series editors are Susun S. Weed and Stephen H. Buhner, both
internationally-known herbalists, teachers, and best-selling authors.
Radical Weeds is Christie and Jillian's writing and publishing partnership, formed in 1995 with a simple agenda for the Garden Remedy Series: "We want a working garden in everyone's life before the FDA regulates herbs right out from under us. We want natural, safe alternatives to hormonal supplements derived from things like horse urine, and to synthetic anti-depressants with lasting side effects, and to antibiotics that can no longer effectively treat drug-resistant bacteria. We strive to see people empowered in personal health care. And we want to pass along what we've learned in our weedy gardens over many seasons -- the power of cultivating wellbeing right in your own backyard."A portion of every Radical Weeds book sale supports Green programs that promote sustainable living. These include United Plant Savers and the Northeast Herbal Association. Booksignings, Workshops & Weed Walks Wholesale Inquiries Welcome
