Who needs plants. Really. Who needs them. Knowing what a plant could give us, might make us love them a bit more. Take for instance the English Oak. -It dominates much of our lowland. -Flourishes in Europe from Scandinavia to Spain. -Grows to 30 metres tall.

Now dig a little deeper. -Anti inflammatory -Antiseptic -Decongestant -Dysentery treatment Medicinally, I could go on. But it doesn't stop there -Basketry -Dye -Gum -Compost -Ink -Repellant -Tanin Its no longer just an Oak tree. For a full list of other native plants go to the link in the comments section.
