Plantcraft: A guide to the everyday use of wild plants

"Wortcunning" - and understanding of plant use - was regarded by our ancestors as a natural and essential domestic skill. In PLANTCRAFT, Richard Mabey revives the skill he calls "ecological magic" and tells how wild plants and herbs from ashplant to willow can be put to fruitful and enjoyable use. He will show you how to make: Bamboo pipes, Birch whisks, Bookmarks, Brooms, Daisy chains, Glues, Gums, Heather beds, Hop pillows, Nut polishes, Paper, Potpourris, Razorstrops, Rushlights, Wickerwork and many other delightful objects!
