Drawing of Poppies by Christina Hart-Davies

What plant should you slip into your shoes to ease tired feet?
Which was the proper day to gather Dandelions for the best wine?
Which hayfield flower would make your cows’ milk richer?

The answers appear in a new book by award-winning Dorset botanical artist Christina Hart-Davies, who talked to the SBRS last year. Lavishly illustrated with detailed, vibrant watercolours the book will be published in August and launched with a major exhibition at The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens. All the illustrations will be for sale, along with books, prints, cards and other original paintings.
