This year’s calendar features some of my favourite wild herbs from the hedgerow —the ones I know the best, and use the most as herbal teas, tinctures and tonics. I’ve made this lunar calendar so you can get to know them as they grow and change through the year, whilst the moon waxes and wanes… I’ve illustrated the herbs with accurate botanical features, included common names, scientific names, and some -almost- forgotten names that signify their historic medicinal uses, so you can start to recognise these beautiful plant allies that grow all around us:
Raspberry, Hawthorn, Lime/Linden, Stickyweed/Cleavers, Ground-Ivy/Alehoof, Mugwort, Comfrey/Knitbone, Meadowsweet, Yarrow/Bloodwort, Daisy/Bruisewort, Dandelion, Valerian, Skullcap, Pineappleweed, St John’s Wort, Nettle, Ribwort Plantain, Horsetails, Herb Robert/Stinking Bob, Common Poppy, Elder, Guelder Rose/Cramp-Bark, and Dog Rose.
This is a limited print run, riso-printed in gold ink on your choice of emerald green, deep blue, or midnight black (a crow-approved shade that dances between navy and coal-black depending on the light) heavyweight cartridge paper (A3: 29.7x42cm).
Never munch on a hunch folks! ~be sure to consult foraging guides before consuming anything or crafting hedge potions, but feel free to get in touch if you’ve any questions as I’m always happy to hear them 🌱
Finally, if you’re curious for some more learning, I’d thoroughly recommend the book Hedgerow Medicine, by Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal, and Herbalists Without Borders’ Herbal Year Book, for wild medicine recipes and inspiration!
