What We're Growing:
We grow common yarrow for its feathery foliage and flat-topped blooms in white and soft pastels. It’s deeply medicinal, drought-tolerant, and beloved by pollinators.

How We Use It:
Yarrow is used in tinctures, teas, salves, and wound powders. It’s a top choice in herbal first aid and circulatory blends.

Why It’s Good for You:
Yarrow is known for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory benefits. It can stop bleeding, reduce fevers, tone blood vessels, and support hormone balance.

Internally, it stimulates digestion and detox pathways; externally, it’s applied to cuts, bruises, and skin irritations.

In the Garden:
Yarrow thrives in poor soil and full sun. It’s drought-resistant, attracts beneficial insects, and can be used in compost or as a dynamic mulch.

Fun Fact:
Yarrow has been used since ancient times to stop bleeding, and was carried by soldiers into battle for centuries — hence its nickname “soldier’s woundwort.”
