Competition: Win a copy of The Wicked Plants Coloring Book

Lottie Storey December 20, 2016

Some plants are the root, berry and bark of all evil. In January’s Miscellany we take a look at the darker side of horticulture.

In The Wicked Plants Coloring Book, Amy Stewart and Briony Morrow-Cribbs offer up 40 menacing plants in gorgeous, vintage-style botanical illustrations to colour. from the vine that ate the South to the weed that killed Lincoln’s mother to the world’s deadliest seed. 

We’ve got five copies to give away. Enter below

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
