We used to link quite a bit to Plant Cuttings, Nigel Chaffey’s monthly column in the international scientific journal Annals of Botany. It was also shared on Botany One, a weblog run by the publisher of the journal. Here’s an example of one of our shoutouts, from 16 years ago no less.
Dr Chaffey always had something interesting to say, and following his column was a great pleasure. So I thought it was a real pity when it came to an end in 2019, after about a decade.
It turns out, though, that Plant Cuttings continues. A random post on social media linking to Dr Chaffey’s latest piece, a review of what sounds like an excellent book on basketry, led me to the current incarnation. You can subscribe to it, which I have done, and of course explore the archive of the column at Botany One.
Dear Luigi Guarino and Jeremy Cherfas,
What a lovely post!
Thank you so much for your appreciative comments about the Plant Cuttings, and for this ‘shout-out’ for their new incarnation in their stand-alone site (which recently celebrated its 3rd birthday). Yes, the basketry book is a great addition to the plants-and-people library.
If of interest to your readers, subscription to the Plant Cuttings blog is free, and you can sign up at https://plantcuttings.uk/. [NB, it’s a 2-step process, make sure you respond to the welcome email to confirm your subscription.]
