Creating A Sanctuary Of At-Risk Herbs

As herbal medicine moves into mainstream and the demand for wild medicinal herbs soars, we are putting unprecedented strain on our supply of these plants. This, along with habitat destruction, is causing shortages of some of our most treasured medicinal species. In Ontario, for example, ginseng and goldenseal have virtually disappeared from our forests. To help in the fight to protect these herbs, Penelope created a medicinal plant sanctuary on her farm as part of a network of sanctuaries fostered by United Plant Savers. Penelope shows how you too can join the fight by growing threatened and endangered herbs in your own personal sanctuary – at home or on your farm.

Penelope Beaudrow is a Registered Herbalist and Founder Of The Ginkgo Tree.
