Valerie Jarolim

Ever since she was a little girl, she’s loved spending time with plants: Valerie Jarolim’s favourite pastime used to be tracking down magical, fragrant specimens in forests and meadows with her grandparents. It didn’t take long for her to have learned the names of every wild flower and herb. Later, when she went on to study agricultural science, her green superheroes became scientific subjects with precisely defined characteristics. And now? She surrounds herself with as many plant treasures as possible and uses so-called weeds to conjure up all manner of creams, deodorants and tasty smoothies.
