Career
She is perhaps best known today for her 1931 book, A Modern Herbal. Maud Grieve was a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society with an encyclopedic knowledge of medicinal plants. The training school gave tuition and practical courses in all branches of herb growing, collecting, drying and marketing.
Grieve had an extensive herbal garden in Chalfont Saint Peter, and during World War I she trained people in the harvesting, drying and preparation of medicinal herbs, to help remedy the shortage of medicinal supplies.
In this effort she started publishing informative pamphlets.
