I have a a few food items in the Dandelion Archive: tea, coffee, wine and syrup, but these are the first dandelion flavoured worms! I got them the other week from someone I know who makes lots of sweets and drinks from foraged wild plants. According to the ingredients they are made with dandelion florets. I've tried a few (obviously) and they taste really lovely. And I have saved a few for the archive too.
There's a new exhibition of beautiful paintings by Helen Thomas opening next month at Wakefield Cathedral. Dandelions and Double Yellows runs from 10 July - 15 August 2021.
She's also asking for submissions for an online gallery of pavement plants. There's more details and information on how to send your photos on Helen's website (the final deadline for submissions is 23 July 2021).
I'm in Wakefield in July and plan to go and visit the show. I can't wait to see Helen's work: weeds & dandelions are right up my (overgrown) street.
