        Very excited to continue my journey!  I’m finally here!

        Hello, fellow travelers!

        I’ve found so many medicinal plants in my yard this year I just HAD to know more.

        And today I found out that even my goldenrod “weed” has medicinal qualities!

        What a wonderful world 🙂

          I started taking this course a couple of years ago and got distracted by life.  Starting over and I will finish it this time!  Such great info and I’ve been taking pics on walks (living in MN) and trying to learn to identify more plants, besides growing many too.  I have made several tinctures that I use.  I currently have some fire cider started.  Can’t wait to learn so much more and become the “witch doctor” my family calls me :).

            Welcome Susan! There’s so much great stuff that you can use just in your lawn already, how cool is that!

              Hi Susan,

              I lived in York, PA as a kid. That’s where I first learned to love edible and medicinal plants. :0)

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                Is anyone else here in/near York, PA? I’d love to connect in person! It would be great to physically talk to someone else learning all this amazing info:)

                    Hi Wanda,  I am also in PA and like knowing there is another PA person here. I am in Western Chester County, almost in Lancaster County. It has been a while since I was out your way, but if I remember correctly, it is about a 90-minute drive.  Good luck.

                        I grew up in Chester County, but now I’m in Berks.  I go to West Chester and Lancaster all the time. I just started the school and it is so cool to see that other HGH students are nearby!

                          Jeanne Arcaro and Kelly Clemmer-I’d love to meet up with the two of you! Maybe somewhere near Lancaster would be central to all? I’m willing to drive halfway if we can get connected.

                              Wow! That would be great. Stay in touch and we can plan for it.

                                Yes I would be all for that!  Coming up soon I’m harvesting pecans in Lancaster!

                                I have also found a lot of herbs in my yard.  Looking forward to learning how to use them all!  See you around the forum!

                                  Hi Susan, I just joined the group here. I’m also from Pa from around Pittsburgh. My wife and I have been foraging a few years and are excited to learn the uses for the things we find. I just tried goldenrod tea during a cold and was impressed with the gentleness of removing congestion.
