Some of the work that has grown from Pendle Plant Craft has been shared through magazines, broadcasts, partnerships and collaborations. These pieces explore plants, seasonal learning, wellbeing, and our relationship with the land.
This page gathers those moments for anyone who would like to see how the work has travelled beyond the marsh.
