Hipherb.com
We love herbs, and we want to create a smart website about herbs.
We start this project by first asking what hipherb is not, specifically —
- It should not be a transcript of old books
- It should not be a half-hearted site, cluttered by ads
- It should not be a purely academic endeavor
Instead, we want to gather past and present knowledge about herbs, synthesize them, and present them in clear and meaningful ways.
So, we focus on, and work toward, these values —
- Design » hipherb is clear, intuitive, beautiful
- Relevance » hipherb helps you understand and appreciate herbs and nature
- Relationship » hipherb allows you to discover the links and "semantics" among herbs
- Community » hipherb shares knowledge and invites you to participate

Wisdom
The search for truth is in one way hard and in another way easy, for it is evident that no one can master it fully or miss it wholly. But each adds a little to our knowledge of nature, and from all the facts assembled there arises a certain grandeur.
— Aristotle
