Michael Moore

It was a saddening blow to learn that Michael Moore of the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, had passed away. I've learned much from his website throughout the years even though I was never able to take his classes. I live in the Southwest, and his herbalism centered largely on the regional plants that I recognize. I learned from him that Holly Hock is the "dessert" equivalent of marshmallow root, and many other informative tid bits that made herbology more understandable to me. He will be greatly missed.
