When you think of plants that are associated with Christmas, what do you think of first? For most people it’s the Christmas Tree that probably comes to mind.The tradition of Christmas Trees probably began with the ancient Romans. They had an annual feast called Saturnalia, which they celebrated in December. They would bring evergreen trees into their temples. Saturnalia involved a lot of feasting, wine drinking, and the exchanging of gifts. As often happens when a new religion enters a society,

This episode is about lemons, Citrus limon. I’ve chosen lemons because it’s pretty likely that most listeners will have access either to lemons the fruit, or a lemon tree, or both. You can eat the pith, juice, rind and even the flowers of the lemon. Lemons are popular as food and drink but they also have medicinal properties. They can be used as an insect repellent, for metal polishing, or as a bleach. Lemon tree wood is prized for woodworking. Learn more about this amazing fruit that so many of us

Can colors be experienced through a podcast? It’s great listening to podcasts and radio and audio-books because you can use your imagination to visualize everything. One small drawback, however, is that it’s hard to evoke colors with sound. And colors are a joyful part of Craftsteading. People with sound-color synaesthesia see colors when they're listening to music. They actually hear colorful music. If you're not among those people, you can still learn to associate colors with sounds, just as Sir

Sweet-scented lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), also called English Lavender or True Lavender, is one of the world's most beloved plants. IN your garden, it attracts bees and other beneficial insects. It also makes a lovely hedge. The leaves, petals and flowering tips can be eaten raw, used (in small quantities, because the flavour is strong) as a condiment in salads, soups, and stews. You can make a fragrant

Plants for cordage You can make useful string and twine and rope out of plant fibres. The term cordage encompasses everything from fine string to cords to thicker ropes. All of these things begin with strands of fibre twisted or braided together in a way that gives them strength and length. You can start by making thin string, then twist lengths of this string together to make cord, then twist lengths of the cord together to make rope.
