Additionally, in-depth interviews were held among 14 (grand-) mothers about plants for women's health and child care. All interviews were combined with plant collection, bush walks and/or a visit to the shrine or sacred forest. Quantitative market surveys were carried out in Accra (Nima, Timber, Art Center and Kaneshie market), Cape Coast (central market), Kumasi (Kejetia market) and Tamale (central market).
