S6 E6 Brenda Jones

Season 6, Episode 6 After decades in Montreal, Brenda Jones returned to PEI to retire. She learned how important the landscape of her youth was to her well-being. In "Medicinal Herbs of Eastern Canada: A Pictorial Manual", the award-winning illustrator of children's books turns her attention and artistic skills to wild plants - the nearly-lost knowledge about their healing properties, and the caution that some deserve. She tells Costas Halavrezos about the science and traditional lore surrounding some of our region's most familiar plants.
