Hi,
As a soon to graduate Zoologist my botanical knowledge is decidedly limited which is somthing I'm hoping to rectify over the coming months by exploring my jungle/back garden and surrounding woods. In the meantime I would be grateful if anybody could ID this nettle-type plant which is very common here.
I am keen to encourage native plant species in my back garden, particularly if they encourage wildlife, I guess that may include what some people call weeds but I reckon everything has its place!
I would also appreciate recommendations for a good field guide for plants and trees in the UK.
Thanks for looking,
Alan
