ABOUT THE AUTHOR

"Sophia Emma Magdalene Grieve (Neé Law) (also known as Margaret, Maude, Maud or simply Mrs. Grieve) (1858-1941)was the Principal and Founder of The Whins Medicinal and Commercial Herb School and Farm at Chalfont St. Peter in Buckinghamshire, England. Maud Grieve was a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society with an encyclopedic knowledge of medicinal plants. The training school gave tuition and practical courses in all branches of herb growing, collecting, drying and marketing.

Grieve had an extensive herbal garden in Chalfont St. Peter, and during World War 1 she trained people in the harvesting, drying and preparation of medicinal herbs, to help remedy the shortage of medicinal supplies. In this effort she started publishing informative pamphlets.

Grieve was President of the British Guild of Herb Growers, and Fellow of the British Science Guild.
