Hi all,
Looking to see what guides / books you use for identifying those weeds that are a little less common? A google of search of hedgerow weed book doesn't reveal much! thanks in advance!

You can download or ask for a hard copy. I picked one up at Cereals.

Thanks for your reply! I have one of these already, looking for something to help identify those slightly more obscure weeds that aren’t in that book, if you know of anything!
Thank you.

Try this

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21089628-the-wild-flowers-of-britain-and-northern-europe

It’s an acclaimed standard reference book. The artist for the illustrations, Marjorie Blamey, lived locally near Liskeard in Cornwall. I have one of her original paintings.

I highly recommend Wild Flowers of Britain: Roger Phillips
