Folklore
Ferns have long been associated with mystery and magic, often linked to hidden knowledge and unseen realms. In some traditions, it is believed that ferns grant invisibility or lead seekers to hidden treasures. They are said to thrive in the liminal spaces between light and shadow, much like the threshold to the Otherworld.
Medicinal
Ferns have been used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and wound healing. Some species were believed to offer protection against evil spirits and negative energies.
Time of Year
Spring - Autumn
Most ferns begin unfurling their delicate fronds in early spring, with their lush greenery reaching its peak in summer. Many remain vibrant well into autumn, adding texture and life to shaded woodlands and gardens.
Cowslip Platter
Completely unique platters are handmade using foraged Cowslip.

Folklore
Cowslip has long been associated with spring, renewal, and the arrival of warmer days. In British folklore, cowslips were believed to be favoured by fairies, with their nodding golden flowers said to mark the paths where fairies danced. They are often linked to joy, youth, and the awakening of the countryside after winter.
Traditionally gathered for May Day celebrations, cowslips have been woven into garlands and crowns to welcome the new season.
Medicinal
Cowslip has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. The flowers were commonly prepared in teas and remedies to support relaxation and restful sleep, while also being valued for easing coughs and colds. Gentle and soothing, cowslip has long been associated with comfort and wellbeing.
Time of Year
April – May
Cowslips flower in mid to late spring, with their peak display usually occurring between April and May. Their cheerful yellow blooms are one of the most recognisable signs of the season, carpeting meadows, grasslands, and hedgerows before fading as summer approaches.

Folklore
Ferns have long been associated with secrecy, magic, and protection. In folklore, they were believed to grant invisibility to those who carried their seeds, and in some traditions, finding a fern flower—a rare and mythical occurrence—was said to bring great fortune. They were also used to ward off evil spirits and negative energy, often hung in doorways or burned for protection.
Medicinal
Ferns have been traditionally used for their cleansing and soothing properties. Some species were brewed into teas to support digestion and ease respiratory ailments, while others were applied externally to soothe burns, insect bites, and skin irritations. Certain ferns were also believed to aid in detoxification and promote overall vitality.
Time of Year
April – October
Ferns begin to unfurl in early spring, with their characteristic curled fronds, known as fiddleheads, appearing as the weather warms. They thrive in damp, shaded areas, carpeting woodlands and riverbanks throughout the summer. As autumn approaches, many ferns turn golden before dying back, with their roots remaining dormant until the cycle begins again in spring.
