About

Welcome to the Wort blog!

This online space complements the print journal. Here you will find writings on themes of radical, grassroots, and folk herbalism and other forms of connective plant practice. It is a space for the sharing of knowledge and ideas, and for continued conversation. All articles are free to access.

Its aims are to highlight 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.

And reclaiming slow, decentralised media in challenge to corporate-owned vampiric social media platforms!

Respectful interaction is welcomed and very much encouraged.*

If you would like to write for the Wort blog, please see the submissions page for details.

All articles are written by a thoughtful, passionate human, without the use of A.I.
