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.
There are 273 species on my cultivated list and 93 species on the wildcrafted list. 32 species I both grow and wildcraft (hence are on both lists). A grand total of 345 unique species. This list is why I feel qualified to teach growing and wildcrafting medicinal plants. Some of these species I have grown large amounts of for many years. Some I’ve only grown experimentally or for short periods. So much more to learn! So many more species to try!
