Plant Forage Make Magazine

Plant Forage Make is a new magazine for plant lovers and crafters from UK-based natural dyer Rebecca Desnos.

This special journal is like a botanical hug, designed to lift your spirits, encourage you to slow down and take notice of the natural world around you.

The theme for volume 1 is 'Scent' . Contributors from around the world look at the positive effect of botanical scents on our mood and wellbeing, share recipes with scented flowers and herbs, natural dyeing tutorials, as well as foraging, cooking and gardening ideas.
