Never underestimate a w**d. Goldenrod. Autumn’s natural anti-inflammatory, herbal remedy, botanical dye and habitat adornment. This time of year I love foraging for wild goldenrod along the Tama River. It’s now when I top off my dried flower store jars and infuse vinegar with goldenrod stems for staving off respiratory infections, sore throats and common cold.

What’s blooming in your corner of the world that might be a a perfect companion for wintering?
