Wort, Issue 3

A journal of grassroots herbalism, printed in Wales, with beautiful pen and ink illustration. Wort is a curated collection of contributions from persons working with plants as medicine in ways that resonate with the long traditions of world-entangled, community-embedded folk herbalism. “For lovers of weeds and wildflowers; for those who honour plants as kin and those working to make change at the root."

This issue published Spring '25.
