We got wild flowers that grow everywhere. And daisies I think it's called. Also have wild onions can the green part make good teas? I am just getting into tea. I will post pics when its daylight.
Which plants can I use for tea that's safe?

I also wouldn't make tea out of anything that even remotely might have been sprayed with non-organic herbicides, insecticides or mitacides.
Yeah thinking back it's possible I might have some round up sprayed in some spots.

Alfalfa, culinary lavender.
I love chamomile tea. With a bit of honey.
We grew it everywhere the first year and found it gets messy quite early in the season. However, year two it self seeded and was in flower all over the place well before anywhere else. So, we picked it regularly for about a month and accumulated enough to last a full year. Then we cut it down before it got messy, and in time for other flowers blooming. We have a dehydrator so very easy to preserve it.
