Here woodlands.co.uk visit forager Kael Atterton. Here he shows us how to safely forage Yarrow, a flowering plant also known as Achillea millefolium. He gives us information about it’s uses, it's folklore, where and when they grow and how to prepare yarrow for a herbal infusion.

You can use both the flowers and the leaves to make medicinal tea which is sometime found to help treat colds. Alternatively Yarrow can be eaten raw on a salad! Next time you are out exploring meadows or woodlands keep an eye out for this versatile and useful plant. With thanks to Kael Atterton and Red Squirrel Ancestral Skills.
