Often known as Dyer’s Woad or Blue Woad, it’s famous for producing a rich blue dye long before indigo reached Europe. Woad is a striking, architectural plant that also boasts a long history of medicinal use, folklore, and cultural symbolism. Often thought to have been used by the ancient Picts (and Mel Gibson) for tattooing their bodies with intricate blue designs, there is now some conjecture about this.

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a native wildflower herb with a rich and ground breaking medicinal history. It’s a cottage garden staple with hundreds of varieties in different colours - all bred from this original woodland dwelling plant. All parts of the plant are highly toxic to humans and animals so beware if you’ve nibbly cats and dogs or inquisitive young children. Foxgloves are one of Britain’s most recognisable wildflowers, instantly spotted by its tall spires of dangling, thimble-shaped blooms. Also known as fairy gloves, witches’ bells, dead man’s bells, or folk’s glove, they are especially adored by bumble bees. In the 18th century, English physician William Withering revolutionised cardiac medicine by identifying compounds in foxgloves which are used to this day to treat heart conditions.

It’s an important wildflower herb for bees and pollinators and has a rich history of medicinal use and spiritualism.
