Nettle

Nettle (Urtica dioica)

Nettle is a vigorous and nourishing plant, known for its deep green leaves and strong relationship to soil health and place. Harvested at peak vitality, the aerial parts are gathered while young and vibrant, preserving their mineral richness and overall plant integrity.
