Abstract :
Herbs consist of the way more plants then just camomile or plantain. Various herbs have been used by Lithuanian women to treat children suffering from fear, aches, cold or to flavour a soup for too chatty men. Artemisia or burdocks are herbs too. As Eugenija Šimkūnaitė, a prophetess known as the first witch in Lithuania used to say: a yard cannot be considered a real yard if there are no bur-docks. When did people start picking herbs? Who where the first ones to treat people with herbs? Which diseases can be treated using herbs? Students from the 2nd and the 4th grades of Pabiržė main school have decided to answer to these and many more similar questions in the project “Herbs Around Us”. Pupils have picked some herbs, prepared questionnaires about the use of herbs and conclud-ed their results, searched for riddles about herbs and illustrated them, decorated the school with their drawings, visited one museum in Prienai where got to know about the goddess of herbs called In-draja, witches, who used to heal people, later they have arranged an appointment with the manag-eress of local pharmacy, prepared three stands as well as presented this project at school.
