Here's an image which I created this year which symbolizes the end of a cycle. The winter, moon time. When space is made for introspection, darkness, reflection, quietness and self truth.
(Yes I know, this owl is not a plant, continue reading...)
In the winter there are many food and medicine plants in the wild and gardens. This late fall/early winter i have harvested licorice root, dandelion root and leaves, usnea, oregon grape root, a few cotton wood buds (i have always found more in february), and cattail roots.
From our garden we are still harvesting kale, mustard (in the greenhouse), bit of chard, carrots, beets after the heavy snow.
