About
Welcome to the Wort blog!
Here you will find writings on themes of radical, grassroots and folk herbalism and other forms of connective plant practice.
This online space complements the print journal. It offers another platform for the sharing of knowledge and ideas, and a space for continued conversation.
Our aim is to support an ongoing dialogue around plantwork as a practice for ecologically-rooted social change, nurturing a growing network of radical plant folk, and helping us to learn from and be inspired by one another.
We welcome and encourage respectful interaction.*
