I realized that I am starting to give “Meet Your Plants” posts but haven’t talked about the harvesting and processing guidelines I follow. First - I don’t harvest wild plants from the United Plant Savers at risk list. We are a UPS botanical sanctuary and are working on cultivating some of the plants on this list - such as Black cohosh and Solomon’s seal. Every year I try to add one or two more. Plants like Butterfly weed/Pleurisy root (Asclepsia tuberosa) and Arnica (Arnica spp), I grow in the gardens or meadow area (I grow meadow Arnica, not mountain Arnica)
