Ever wondered what that flower is when out for a walk?
The Wildflower Story is her beautifully illustrated guide to wildflowers and plants. She recalls the colloquial name used across the country, the plant's history, and medicinal values.
All readers will be left wanting to immediately don walking shoes and head out to search the hedgerows for Cut-Leaved Cranesbill, Herb Robert, Ox-Eye Daisy, Yellow Rocket, and many, many more. Every plant has been well researched and age-old recipes can be found within the plant's description.
Learn how to make blackberry liquor, brews for teas, plants that can be used as soap, what to plant to keep aphids out of the vegetable patch and which roots when rubbed on the skin can deter mosquitoes!
There is something in this guide for everyone whether they live in the town or countryside.

Dil Roworth studied illustration as a mature student at Plymouth University. She grew up in the Wiltshire countryside and now lives in Somerset. From an early age, she had a keen interest in wildflowers and decided to write and illustrate this book as so many friends were unaware of the plants they saw. She has received a lot of encouragement along the way. She hopes this book will inspire families to explore
the plants around them, since increased knowledge about wildlife in general will help to protect it.
