9/10/2017 List
Here is a list of medicinal plants I have grown over the years. Until this year I hadn't made a list of all the medicinal plants I have grown or wildcrafted. I’ve never made such a list before and was curious how many species it would add up to.
Here is a list of the medicinal herb seed companies in the USA and Canada that I know of. I purchased seed from four of these companies in 2017. I like getting all of their in-print catalogs and use them as reference books. Do you know of any other seed companies which specialize in medicinal seeds and plants. Please let me know.

April 1, 2017 version
There are a lot of resources on herb growing on the internet but less so in print. Here are the best books I have found on the topic. They are all in my library and I consult all of them.

University of Washington Medicinal Herb Garden
& Bastyr University Medicinal Herb Garden
On Friday, April 21, I had the pleasure to visit the University of Washington Medicinal Herb Garden. It was the warmest day of the year so far for the Puget Sound/Salish Sea. Thousands of people were out enjoying the day, but I only saw one other person looking at the medicinal plants.
