Mugwort Harvest
I wildcrafted some of our native mugwort (Artemisia suksdorfii) yesterday. We found some nice patches down the Alberni Inlet. Right before harvesting this plant my family and I were lucky to see a humpback whale breech twice about 100ft from where we sat having a picnic! I haven't seen a whale in quite some time since I am rarely out on the water. We harvested some younger stalks from the stands of mugwort. It likes to grow near water and these plants were at the tidal portio
