5 tips to help you harvest herbs

Herbalist Golden Rules

1. Correctly identify plant before picking. Many herbs are similar and it could be dangerous if you pick the wrong herb.
2. Do not pick herbs that are close to the road or in an area that uses pesticides.
3. Pick your plant material once dew has evaporated and before the hottest part of the day. Volatile oils will be at their prime.
4. Only pick in an area of abundance. Do not wipe out a patch of any herb.
5. Give thanks while picking your bounty.
