berries may not be the most flavorful of fruits, but they are among the easiest to pick. And they give a great purple color to other foods.

Berries can also be used to create a dark blue or purple dye. Branches & leaves of salal are used to line cooking pits & provide flavour. Leaves are used to cover cuts and wounds.

Of the things that grow wild in your region: is there some plant that people pick for the floral industry?

This is salal, which grows on the west coast of BC, Canada, and down the coast to California as well. It’s used in bouquets, and is prized by florists. And that’s why there are salal pickers in my local forest, harvesting this stuff (illegally) by the truckload.
