Hello, hope you enjoy the reading of my experiences and investigations
I'm a kid, maybe I will grown up of this, maybe I will not, but please respect my beliefs.
We need know about plants, the growing wings mean it's going to be hard live in, technically, cities, because there's so many people, so, we have to learn about plants we can consume and what plants we have to avoid. So the chapters with this titles will be about that. Investigating in virtual books and different pages about this, I'm not a professional.
I will be talking principally about Medicinal plants because it's the thing that focuses herbology.
Many plants can be easy to cultivate because they don't have many exigencies about water and the fertility of the floor/earth, but there's plants who prefer more dry land than others.
The use of plants to help with illness it's even seen in nature, remember think of medicinal plants like regular medicine, don't use so much about it because maybe it can cause more bad than good in your body.
Some plants can help to drive away pests and insects from other plants.
You place your plants in a spiral like part, like in this image, to explain better because I know you probably didn't understand what did I say there.

An orchard should make more easy work with them (weeding, Planting, watering, harvesting). And definitely you should never step on it. The width limit is 1 meter(3.28 feets) to 1.20 meters(3.93 feets)
There's different ways to prepare the plants, like infusions(it's like with tea), cooking(this is with roots, rinds, trunks, and seeds), maceration, tincture, collection and drying. I will talk about all of this later, because I don't know if the information of the book its enough or not, but this is the basic (:
"Is a species of Artemisia, native to North Africa and temperate regions of Eurasia,[6] and widely naturalized in Canada and the northern United States.[7] It is grown as an ornamental plant and is used as an ingredient in the spirit absinthe and some other alcoholic beverages." [Wikipedia]
(Before continue I have to say I got lazy here and directly copy the information from the book I get this information)

Properties and indications: the use of wormwood as a medicinal plant is free from the disastrous effects of the liquors that are produced with it; among other things, because its strong bitter taste makes it unsuitable for abundant consumption. It contains bitter principles (absinthin), to which it owes its digestive properties; essential oil rich in thujone, with vermifuge and emmenagogue action, but toxic in high doses; mineral salts (potassium nitrate) and tannins. Applied correctly, wormwood offers us some interesting medicinal properties, which we mention below:
Gastric tonic: like all bitter plants, it develops a tonic effect on the stomach, increasing appetite and stimulating the secretion of gastric juices. It is therefore suitable for people with no appetite and dyspeptics (who suffer from heavy digestions).

Holy, try to translate the book by myself was more hard that I thought, and at some point I just put the whole thing in the translator, so if something seems off it because of that, I have the book in spanish, but if someone wants to read the full book even if it's on spanish you can tell in the comments and I will send you the link in DM here in Wattpad. Sorry for not updating every day or week, school hit me hard this time, hopefully I didn't failed lenguage class again, because if I failed then i can't pass the year technically. I love you birdies and hope you're getting results.
