Join herbalist and forager Linda Conroy in the field and the apothacary as she talks about the first herb she foraged, over 30 years ago. This plant is near and dear to her heart and she shares both common and uncommon ways to apply this powerful herbal ally. The first part of the video is filmed at Linda's favorite Hypercium harvesting spot, where the plant grows harmoniously with milkweed on several acres of land. The second part of the video we will learn some of the ways that hypcericum can be prepared and applied, both common and uncommon uses.
