Floral Folklore: The forgotten tales behind nature's most enchanting plants by Alison Davies

informative lighthearted slow-paced

4.0

This is a gorgeous book. We follow the year, beginning in Spring & explore the plants that appear each season. Each plant is accompanied by a description, its place in botanical mythology & a story based on a regional tale (tales are sourced from across the globe), ending with a ritual to allow the reader to work with the essence of each plant. 

A sweet & really interesting book (if you have any interest in plants, gardening, myths & legends), the illustrations are whimsical & have a little nod to the story that follows. A lovely addition to the gardener, green witch or mythology lovers library.
