Wildflower Course

 

Over the past couple of months volunteer John has been leading a wildflower course, recently we had the last session on the uses of plants, where we looked out how plants have been and can be used.

John took the group around the surrounding area of Carding Mill Valley to see if any useful plants could be found.

Kate showed the group how plants can be used to dye various materials.

Wildflower Course 2014 part 2

Part 2 of this year's wildflower course was enjoyed by all who attended. They started off looking at the bank below, which looks grassy but actually contains lots of flowers! This was followed by a walk round the woods, which were covered with stunning bluebells and other flowers, stopping for lunch with a gorgeous view over Corvedale!
