question for herbalists?


Question:
Where do you start? I am wanting to learn more about herbs and their uses but it's hard for me to find a place to start. help!

Answers:
Try this -
Start in your own back yard! Pick 5 plants which grow around where you live, and learn their uses, seasons, etc. Then use them! Pick, dry, make teas, combine with other herbs, etc.

By the time you "get to know" your first 5, the seasons will be changing. Then you can pick 5 more!

In Virginia, I chose clover, violets, wild rose hips, jewelweed, and willow bark. That was spring. By summer, I moved on to others.

You can "chase your tail", trying to learn about all the herbs at once, even Asian plants, which don't even grow here. Why not learn about the plants right under your feet!

"Weed walks" can be very educational!
Happy hunting!
