Independent print journal of grassroots herbalism and plant practice, featuring articles, poetry, and illustration. Published seasonally with a focus on plant knowledge and radical politics.

A journal for lovers of weeds and wildflowers. For those who honour plants as kin and those working to make change at the root.

Each issue collects contributions from persons working in ways that resonate with the long traditions of world-entangled, community-embedded folk herbalism.

Wort platforms plantwork that is deeply holistic and intersectional. Plantwork that roots itself in the heritage of common knowledge and in relationship with the land.

Beautifully illustrated with pen and ink drawing throughout.
