Stinging Nettle or White Snakeroot plants at HarborLab

Are there are many Stinging Nettle or White Snakeroot plants at HarborLab? I've read that they are easily confused before flowers come out. In Fall 2019 when the flowers came out I made many snakeroot IDs.

The main differences
Nettles- hairy stem, snakeroot, not
Wood Nettle - leaves alternate, Stinging Nettle and White Snakeroot- leaves opposite.

I'm referencing this article. http://www.distractednaturalist.com/2013/01/stinging-nettle-look-alikes.html
