What People Are Saying...
These flashcards made it so easy to study herbs grouped by environmental similarities and get to know each featured herb individually in a quick and comprehensive way.
Being a visual learner, as well as experiential these flashcards are perfect for my kind of study!
Mahalo for this beautiful resource! The photos help with proper identification and I love how they double as flash cards to quiz yourself on recognition. The info provided is the perfect handy cheat sheet to reference when your memory fails you. Highly recommended!
The photos on the flash cards were excellent, and the way the information was arranged was clear to understand and beautiful at the same time. Thank you.
This is such a wonderful resource, and I am extremely grateful for all the years of love, care, and hard work that must have gone into it. It will certainly serve me — and I imagine many others — well on my/their journey(s). Thank you so much for everything!
What a wonderful tool to have for plant ID and study! The pictures are so clear and helpful and the cards have a wealth of information! Thank you!!
This is so wonderful of you to share these flashcards! I really like the way they are grouped according to the growing environment, they will be very easy for me to place in my garden having them grouped already. Thank you so very much!
These are amazing, thank you so much for sharing them. They are visually beautiful and an excellent way of learning the keynotes of a herb. I love the photos of the herbs for identification. They contain a lot of useful information at a glance without it being overwhelming. I will return to them often.

Explore the World of Herbal Medicine! 🌿
We've created a series of unique flashcards designed hand-in-hand with Matthew Wood himself. Matthew's unique voice and decades of experience echo through this series of flashcards.
You will learn to identify the herbs as plants with these herbal flashcards, as well at their herbal properties. You can test your herbal knowledge from front to back. Get generations-worth of herbal experience in a convenient, flashcard format.
Help yourself, family, friends, and community with the plant kingdom. Discover the herbal medicine that can serve them best.
🌿 Being an Herbalist 🌿
The plants are sovereign beings unto themselves; we can build a relationship with them by identifying who they are. As herbalists, we seek to deepen that relationship by understanding their medicine, or herbal properties each plant has generously bestowed upon us. The flashcards are designed with both plant and herbal factors in mind.
This is how herbalists are made: you are a steward between the plant and human world, sharing the plant medicine you have learned to benefit others.
The front of each flashcard covers:
- plant identification
- plant environment preference
- plant photos
- plant measurements
The back of each flashcard covers:
- scientific binomial: genus and species of traditional plants used
- scientific family name
- medicinal parts
- preparation
- energetics and tastes
- tissue states
- traditional herbal uses
- information on environmental concerns, contraindications, cautions, and similar species
Honoring his own herbal teachers, Matthew has categorized the plants by environment or groupings as he has learned them.
