Thanks for watching and I hope you learned something new. 🙂If you enjoyed this video with Elaine, be sure to check out my video on medicinal tea plants: ua-cam.com/channels/bjDmfcTxlKGzNlWseeeUaw.html
Dear Elaine, it's great what you do for so many years, but do you have one of the most beneficial herb, Stinging Nettle? I've noticed that in North America this amazing herb is not so popular as in Europe. Cheers!
I've heard passionfruit and hops help with sleep issues, if that's what you need it for. You can also check out Elaine's youtube channel where you may be able to find more resources: ua-cam.com/users/greenpathherbschool
just subscribed!looking forward to watching your videos...i am doing a permaculture garden also and slowly want to cover my property in great plants....
Thanks for subscribing, Tim, and wonderful that you have a permaculture garden as well! Definitely look at some of my previous videos, in particular, my cold climate food forest tour. That will give you more ideas of what to plant. Good luck!
Thank you. Do you have more videos on this subject (medicinal plants)? I live in the Netherlands and I know valerian and yarrow are native plants here too. The other ones can be grown here, but are not native as wild plants. Our climate zone is about 7, the winters are not very cold and it is more rainy and cloudy here than in Montana.
I think you saw my video on tea plants which are also medicinal. I would also check out Green Path Herb School's UA-cam channel and it will likely give you more ideas. You can tune in here: ua-cam.com/channels/bjDmfcTxlKGzNlWseeeUaw.html
Just come across this video. I've subscribed and liked! Really great content and I love the way it was delivered. I found it easy to understand and digest the information in the conversational and positive presentation. Thank you!
Do you mean in order to get echinacea established in a field? I would likely recommend using plugs rather than seeds if you want to get wildflowers established in an existing field. It would be a shame to burn existing vegetation, unless it is invasive. If you give me more details, I might be able to give you a more comprehensive answer. Thanks for watching!
@@heterodox3487 I would probably just plant plugs of echinacea then, rather than burn the field. I imagine you want to conserve the goldenrod and fescue. Often, native grasses will outcompete wildflowers, especially wildflower seed, so best to start with some plugs or larger plants, just to get them established. Hope that helps!
Broken Ground thanks. There's ample goldenrod and a mix of native grasses with wild flowers, it's just chaotic. Guess I should leave nature alone instead of my notion of what looks best. Enjoy learning from your videos 🍀
@@heterodox3487 Indeed! That's always a good lesson. Natural systems love wildness and we should too! We've been socialized into thinking that manicured lawns and ornamental neat and tidy spaces are beautiful. However, the natural world is a mess of plants doing their thing, and there's such a beauty in the chaos :-).
@@BrokenGround I've got a small garden here in the uk but by using corragated metal raised beds I can grow medicinal herbs,warrigal, fruit bushes,two to three fruit trees and large planters for potatoes etc.
I would luv that! How to it would be to spend a day with her or someone w this helpful knowledge. I’m so inspired and would luv to know where to purchase these plants and if any of these thrive when planted in a large container? I do have peppermint growing in a large flower pot.
It depends on the plant. As Elaine describes in the video, you can eat some medicinal plants in salads and as greens, others you can make into tinctures or teas. Some plants that she mentioned are also used to make salves. It depends on what you need it for!

Dear Elaine, it's great what you do for so many years, but do you have one of the most beneficial herb, Stinging Nettle? I've noticed that in North America this amazing herb is not so popular as in Europe. Cheers!
Yes! Stinging nettle is wonderful. You might be right that it's no as popular though I do have some growing in my garden! Thanks for watching!
What can I use instead of valerian , I can't take it .GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON

Great info, loved the video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing the herb wisdom. Should you burn a wild field to assist the echinacea seeding?

Broken Ground thanks for response. There's a few echinacea started but goldenrod and fescue dominate the area.

How do you use it?
alma evangelista I’m not sure what you mean?
Tell more info about how to identify each specific plant, so people will not use a look alike plant by mistake.
Plz tell me what the plant is in front of you with the stem long of purple flowers. I got one for mothers day but she didn't know what it was.
Sorry for the delay Robin. That's lupine! Such a beautiful plant!
I am interested in becoming a herbalist.
You should definitely check out Green Path Herb School's programs. They are great. You can go here for more info: www.greenpathherbschool.com/
I mean you eat it?
