Following is a list of 36 herb stores in the Pacific Northwest that I am currently aware of. How many have I missed? The numbers keep growing. There were 24 stores in my 2011 edition and I can remember when there were less than 10.

Anyone want some black cohosh root? Fresh, dry, or propagation material?

Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is one of the most well-known and commonly-used medicinal plants native to the US East Coast. If you don’t know about its medicinal uses, there is lots of information on the internet and in herb books.

Here is a list of Some wildcrafting resources I just put together for my March 5, 2017 Wildcrafting Workshop in Sequim, Washington. It gives you some idea of what we cover in my wildcrafting classes.

Thank you for participating. We can only scratch the surface in this 5-hour workshop.  This 10-page handout will give you additional ideas to research and experiment with.

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.
