Lesson 9: Forsythia
In this lesson, I discuss the edible and medicinal value of Forsythia. It is one of out first spring flowers, and a good medicine.
"Them that don't know him don't like him and them that do sometimes don't know how to take him, he ain't wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him do the things to make you think he's right" - Ed Bruce (via Waylon and WIllie)
I did not consider the uses for the flowers off of the Forsythia. I have been utilizing the plant for biomass but now I might consider the medicinal value or even the value of making it into tea when we get the blooms this year.
I've heard the flowers make a unique addition to a gin and tonic which is my favorite adult beverage. Still have to try that!
