A few guidelines on harvesting plants:

• Make sure the plant you’re harvesting is who you think they are. It’s helpful to learn about, and work with a just few plants, or even one plant at a time to build relationships and become confident about identification.

• Be mindful, and don’t harvest so many plants that you threaten the continuation of that particular population.

• Avoid gathering near roads, power lines, or areas that may have been exposed to fertilizers, chemicals, pesticides, or other forms of chemical pollution.

• Gather your herbs with respect and gratitude to the plants and to the environments they grow in. Survey the environment to make sure there’s enough so they will continue to grow and feed the wild creatures that depend on them.For more about this,check out to my post about asking permission.

Thanks for watching and reading! I’ve been a little shy about sharing videos and slowly getting more comfortable on camera. They’ll get better!
