Goldenrod Blossom Tea
I made gallons of tea from the goldenrod in the front yard, leaving the goldenrod in the back yard for the wildlife

Goldenrod – 2020OCT02 – Charlotte, NC
I harvested goldenrod and made gallons of goldenrod tea today!
Goldenrod is indigenous to the United States of America; not a single state is devoid of at least one native goldenrod species. The Latin name Solidago translates as “becoming whole”. Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus applied it to the genus in 1753, acknowledging the plant’s renowned medicinal qualities.
Native bees and other insects depend on goldenrod pollen, so I left the goldenrod in our backyard, harvesting only from the front yard.
The first time I made and drank goldenrod tea, I got happy, also happy the next time, finally figuring out the obvious correlation to goldenrod, looked it up: benefits include being a mood enhancer!
Hope you enjoy this 9% of 76 "just goldenrod" captures I took today!
