Feeling overwhelmed by where to begin your foraging journey?
One of the hardest parts of foraging especially for herbal medicine isn’t motivation.
It’s knowing where to start.
Many people jump straight into plant lists, remedies or advanced harvesting techniques…
without understanding basic botany, ethical harvesting or proper identification.
Have you ever walked past a "weed" and wondered if it might actually be medicine?
You're right to wonder.
That plantain in your sidewalk crack? First-degree remedy for insect bites and digestive issues. The dandelion you're about to spray with herbicide? One of the most powerful liver and kidney tonics available. The chickweed taking over your garden? Nutrient-dense food and medicine for inflamed skin conditions.
The healing plants you need are already growing around you. You just need to know how to recognize them, harvest them safely, and avoid the common mistakes that waste time, money and medicine.
In this free 90-minute webinar, I'm going to show you exactly how to start foraging with confidence even if you're a complete beginner who can't tell a dandelion from a daisy.

Next spring, the chickweed will flush green for a brief window. The dandelion roots will be at peak potency in fall when energy moves downward. The elderflowers will bloom for just a few weeks in late spring.
