Here’s our first video!

I describe how to identify and harvest mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and make a vinegar with it.

If you’re in Pittsburgh, please come to our walks and workshops on the Events Page. We’d love to see you!  There’s one tomorrow.

And to the reader in Ontario who asked about fiddleheads…great idea! I (Melissa) used to live in Maine, and this time of year was big fiddlehead season! Yesterday we went out in search of fiddleheads for you, but we were unsuccessful. We’ll head out again today, though, and see what we can find.

Please enjoy this video all about Mugwort!

    I am so glad I found you folks! I live on the line of DE and PA. I need to find mugwort and use it to treat my dog for heartworms bbutI do not know where to find it. If anyone has any suggestions on where and when to find it please email me @ onori77@gmail.com. Thank you so much! I wish I could join the work shops yet I can not due to distance. How ever I will post on facebook the videos to attempt to stear people to natural remedies instesd of toxic ones developed to enslave and kill our world by major corporations with diabolical ideals. Grace and Peace to you all and keep up the good work. By the was the video was bit blurry.
