Foraging For Natural Materials and Weeds

Lately I have been foraging for natural materials and weeds for my botanical dye projects. One thing I did learn was that it is important to be careful handling weeds that grow by the roadside.

One such weed is called Hemlock!

Another dangerous plant is Giant Hogweed

Always wear gloves when foraging and if you are not sure what the plant is take a

photo and search google for the image.

The Fairy Houses

Do you know what the plants below are called?

Stinging Nettle, Coltsfoot and the plant that has been mentioned in Irish folklore, Ribwort Plantain.
