Have you ever found wild lilies growing in nature and wondered how to harvest their edible bulbs sustainably? Join me as I carefully dig up these wild treasures using a simple garden hoe—a traditional method that respects the plant and its ecosystem.
In this video, I’ll show you how to identify wild lily plants ready for harvest, the technique of loosening the soil around the bulbs without damaging them, and how to clean and store your find. You’ll also learn why sustainable foraging matters—always leaving enough plants behind to ensure they thrive for years to come.
Foraging Tips for Sustainability & Safety:
Only harvest from abundant patches and never take more than one-third of the plants.
Use the hoe gently to avoid slicing through the fragile bulbs deep in the soil.
Replant smaller bulbs or offsets to help maintain the wild population.
Perfect for foragers, nature lovers, or anyone interested in wild edibles and traditional harvesting skills! Have you ever foraged for wild lilies or other roots? Share your experiences in the comments below!
