In this video I forage for 12 edible and medicinal plants. These wild edible and medicinal plants can be foraged for in the spring, and I show how to identify them and describe some of the edible and medicinal uses. This video should be helpful for beginner foragers to provide a good overview of many common wild plants you can find in many places throughout North America.
