Valuable Garden Weeds takes a look over our shoulders into the
past when some of today’s common garden weeds had valuable uses,
both for practical purposes and for rituals. This second edition
now features eighteen weeds, from the lowly Chickweed to the
spreading Sycamore tree, all of which are illustrated.
They
open up a wonderful window into our social history. Why were
Horsetails called Pewterwort? With what did bowyers and
fletchers polish their wood? Is it safe to put Groundsel into
your salads? And are then any virtues to those dreaded
Bindweeds? It may only be 32 pages but there’s a wealth of
fascinating insights here. Do you know somebody who hates
weeding? Why not give them one – it’s full of reasons to honour
our weeds!
