Always loved my witchcraft just because of the uses of the plants and respect for the earth !! Due to modern way of living I believe this has never been more true. But I didn't know how much I had in my garden and local nature walking area . Thank you for sharing you are AWESOME !!🌻🍀🍄

[@michaelgood4760]

My favourite foraging guide on the internet! I don't know how you don't have 100k plus subscribers! FANTASTIC content!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. Im still in my first year so hopefully in a few years I will

[@AlissaSss23]

I was wondering the same

[@aabbushcraft]

Fantastic learning aid my Friend 👍 don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers! Thank you

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Cheers. Getting there steadily haha

[@Grumszy]

My father and grandfather would collect elderflowers dry them in a cardboard box in the airing cupboard... Then use dried flowers in hot water for colds flu.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I'm currently drying elderflower, linden flowers, red clover, mallow, and mullien for tea.

[@AlissaSss23]

That's elderflower tea. I made elderflower lemonade this year, you use dried flowers, sugar/ honey, lemons and water and let it ferment

[@63phillip]

Your Video's are without a doubt the best foraging guides I have ever watched. I have been foraging for over 42 years now and I even learn things from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Awesome thanks 😊

[@abundleofmyrrh]

This is such great information thank you, I’m learning sooooo much! Whenever I go out now I look at the trees and vegetation with fresh new eyes 😁

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

That's great! Thanks 😁

[@MoneyRazorVEVO]

such a bloody good channel this is, much admiration for the detail you explained and also the relaxed pace to show some of the less skilled viewers some of the specific things to look out for, the kids loved it, thanks

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

That's great to hear. Thanks 😊

[@geraldinegregory.1803]

Thank you for that video, it was very interesting and informative. You're absolutely right about the honeysuckle berries being poisonous! I know, because I read somewhere that they were good to eat. And they do taste nice. Within a very few minutes I was very poorly, so I learnt my lesson! The same with raw elder berries, shouldn't be eaten....! I need videos like this to help keep me out of trouble, otherwise I'm always nibbling on things and then feeling queasy. It's surprising how many books give the wrong information and it's so much better to actually see things on video than just poor quality pictures in books. 👍

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@AlissaSss23]

I totally agree 👍

[@AlissaSss23]

Please stop eating random things from the trees and bushes

[@geraldinegregory.1803]

@@AlissaSss23 I am very cautious and careful, and do as much research as I can. So it's not "random" eating. Unfortunately there is a lot of wrong information out there. If you want to learn, then sometimes the consequences can be unfortunate!!! We might all need to supplement our diet with wild foods one day.

[@genghis497]

Elder is the only plant I can think of that you can make both white and red wine from the same plant. Very informative video, many thanks 🙏

[@AlissaSss23]

Your comment is very informative too, I had no idea you can make red wine out of them

[@AlissaSss23]

Linden blossom are AMAZING as a very gentle, nice flavoured tea. It tastes great and it's lovely in the cold weather with some honey and lemon if you like

[@ellisuii]

Oh so Thank you, for this so infomative video. More information would be much appreciated. Just about to learn treasures like these plants to utilize them for how they used to be long time ago.😊

[@SimSpark1]

I enjoyed it very much..all though i know all the plants..it's nice to look at them more closely .

[@Pelbee54]

Best foraging video yet mate very clear and concise info keep up the good work

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@mattwall3267]

Just tried the Pineapple Weed Tea that you mentioned, absolutely amazing! Just add a spoon of sugar and you’ve got a real good herbal tea, thanks for the tip, great video! 🍍

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. It’s a lovely tea isn’t it

[@Suzitao]

..it also makes a really tasty jelly with honey. Am glad it's about again now.

[@AlissaSss23]

Try honey and lemon instead of sugar, healthier, yummier and with more benefits!

[@AlissaSss23]

WOW! What a beautiful video! I had no idea that first plant was edible

[@Suzitao]

I really enjoy your videos..fairly new to foraging and I learn more each time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks :)

[@dukenegju]

Such great talent, thank you for sharing! Love

[@L2KiLLa]

Cool channel! Excellent information!! 👏 New Sub UK 🌿🍄🌾

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@pinkpoodlepaloma]

Very good information. I've saved this one for reference

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

That's great. Thanks 😊

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I didn't know Honesty was part of the brassica family. I'll forage these seeds next week I know where to get them. I'll then plant the seeds in my garden and cultivate them for food.

[@johnon1344]

Wow… pineapple weed. I used to see them all over the place when I was a kid. I’ve not seen them for years. I forgot all about them..

[@rebeccawilkinson102]

Awesome information, thank you so much and can't wait to start doing a bit more foraging now that I know a bit more

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Nice one. Thanks 😊

[@catmartin9603]

Amazingly useful detail. Nice work mate. Is your foraging around Oxfordshire?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Ta very much. Im based near Bristol

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I went out for a quickie forage to find pineapple weed. I got 3. I'll plant them in my herb garden. On the way home I found honesty seed pods,so I took a branch of that too. I'll be planting lots of honesty this year and next.

[@AlissaSss23]

I never thought of planting them, what a fantastic idea!!!

[@HazzM]

Excellent video, thanks. One thing I'd suggest to help viewers retain knowledge is to repeat the name of the plant etc,. after discussing ID, benefits etc.

[@AlissaSss23]

Great idea!!!

[@amyrider5574]

Thank you for these videos. It's so helpful when you explain the identifying features. I've only been actively foraging this spring. I live in a coastal region which has an abundance of Alexanders. I'm slowly gaining confidence and have seen some of the plants you talk about so will take a taste next time. I wonder if you ever get odd looks and questions when picking as it keeps happening!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. Yes! I get odd looks all the time. Especially when I'm filming haha. I usually just smile and say hi, they are often just curious and want to know what you're picking. You occasionally get the people who tut at you but I just ignore them

[@ragnhildwadahl6171]

Fireweed flowers are also great for cordial

[@stewartclan]

Great video

[@cara4996]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🧡

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

[@GreencampRhodie]

THANK YOU for an invaluable essential video. You are a hero.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Hah thanks :)

[@andreahodson7031]

thanks this is clear and straightforward 😁

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

😁

[@ThePostalGril]

some great info here for a newbie, thanks so much

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

You're welcome 😁

[@ThePostalGril]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS i went on my first forage yesterday. my back garden alone is a food goldmine. but i'm surrounded by fields and woodlands so went for a walk. i thought it'd be best to learn one thing at a time so i ventured for pineapple weed. found none, anywhere. must not grow in this part of england. i checked all paths where soil would be compacted. shame. that's onew eed i'd love to eat i'll pick something else today and go spotting. i figure if i just pick one thing to go out and find a day and identify it'll be great.

[@bernardhorlock7751]

another excellent video, thank you.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@YUNITA-ok5lc]

i just learn to identify the plant .. so beautiful flowers

[@amerruru2443]

Thank you so much 🌻

[@davidedge8808]

Very informative and useful video. Thank you for passing on your exhaustive knowledge.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

[@johndunne777]

another great video mate well done

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@joycewedel9084]

Ty. Would be nice to know which are medicinal & what health issues they remedy.

[@staceyvirgo1950]

another great vid thanks. can I ask a question? i found some Linden but the leaves have pink mites on them. I assume this means I can't forage the flowers?

[@clarevickers923]

I'm so out foraging the morrow... 😁👍

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Enjoy 😊

[@sabrinawanderer7560]

I would love you to satisfy my imagination of you making hot teas out of those wild herbs and sipping your tea in a cold night starry sky with bonfire too...

[@MaxSafeheaD]

aaah, I picked some Alexanders seeds in Hastings a few weeks ago and left to dry. Now I'm second guessing my memory which I'm sure is just me being ridiculous ... BUT, is there a difference in the umbels I can look for that might reassure me? I can't see enough of a difference in the seeds themselves. I'm so annoyed, I would have checked the leaves at the time I'm positive but ... I know I should have kept some just to reassure myself.

[@AlissaSss23]

I had no idea you could eat ribworth, we use thrn in medicinal teas

[@blueXRPdynamite.]

😎👍

[@CottonTailJoe]

Is the willowherb different from the great willowherb? Or are they the same and different in name only?

[@mikeb3315]

This will come in very handy when the supermarkets close because of food shortages!! Nature is my supermarket!!!. We walk past sooo much food everyday without knowing... My mother always told me to eat my greens,.. It's all around as!. Great content and knowledge.. New subscriber 🤜🏽

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. And yes I agree, I love the security that comes with the knowledge to be able to feed myself even if the shops run out

[@evealain388]

Hello I am looking for chaff flower(Achyranthes japonica) plant , Do you know where is it in UK?

[@Olan...]

Do you have anything available in print ???

[@hejamie9743]

May I ask if you would you like to give me a hand to make some videos record of your lovely honesty plant and send it to me please? The reason why I want to find this plant is that I want to learn and record how these plant move when the wind blowed on the plant (how the whole structure move). I am student from London and I am doing a project about lunaria annua, I was looking forward to buy one plant from shops or find some from parks or gardens. However, I can’t find any these plant in London. :(

[@SlouchingBadger]

Have you tried dittander? Hot - hot!!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

No not yet. I know of it but haven't found any near me

[@kdt85]

Have you written book? I'd love a pocket guide written by you

[@kdt85]

An app would be awesome too!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

I haven’t. Maybe one day 😁
