With garden clippers or scissors- you will want to clip a small portion of a plant you want to dry. Make sure you are not collecting in an area where it is not allowed, and that you are not collecting a protected plant. Only collect plants that are healthy, and when the plant is large enough that you won't harm the plant's survival by taking a sample.
