# Greenwood Trees by Christina Hart-Davies (Paperback)

Marking the 800th anniversary of the Forest Charter, award-winning botanical artist Christina Hart-Davies celebrates our long relationship with trees. Since pre-historic times they have provided us with shelter, fuel, medicine, food and even the air we breathe. They have tanned leather, dyed cloth and made everything from cathedrals to clothes-pegs. We have told stories about them, admired their magnificent beauty and woven them into our spiritual lives. Following _A Wild Plant Year_, which recorded the folklore and cultural history of our native wildflowers, in _The Greenwood Trees_ Christina looks at the history, folklore and virtues of our native trees - and a few well-known introductions too - all illustrated with her exquisitely detailed watercolour paintings.

We have relied on trees throughout our history. We still do, and we always will. Touch wood.
