I discovered and forged goldenrod for the first time this summer of 2024, they were all over the woods near me! I didn’t know all the benefits until the flowers were no longer available unfortunately but I forged 2 jars and have been drinking it as a tea whenever I feel called to. It tastes great! I wish I collected 5 more jars!
