Was die Alten noch wussten, und die Jungen interessiert

What's it about?

Importance of plants around the house and farm: Why did people tip their hats to the elderberry, how did hazel provide the wood for the 'Muten' (a traditional tool) used for the wishing rod, and what is the truth about walnut leaves as a mouse repellent? The connection of people to plants was close and reflected both in their practical use and symbolic meanings. The lecture illustrates the significance and uses of numerous plants around the house and farm and shows how important this knowledge once was.
