Anyone know where I can buy Artemisia Absinthium (aka Wormwood) either
seeds or young plants in or around the Glasgow area? I would also be
interested in mail order but would prefer a garden centre/nursery in the
above area.

Whilst I have little interest in engaging in discussion over the merits or
demerits of growing this plant, (primarily because I've had a belly full
from my gardening buddies, next door, my wife and the local priest.)
I am aware of Absinthe's (the drink which contains Thujone contained in
Absinthe) notorious reputation. Suffice it to say that I had the
opportunity to observe one of the very few cases of Absinth Syndrome in
France in the summer of 1995. So to my mind there is no need to go down
that road on my account.

Thankyou

Danny.

Chiltern Seeds, if I recall. I found it easy to grow from seed.

Well, it IS one of the herbs traditionally used by witches - is he
also as rabid about monkshood? ....

Or foxglove or hellebore or oleander? The Artemisia family includes
many attractive sliver-leafed plants. Tarragon is a variety of
Artemisia. I've grown it (wormwood) from seed and it's an attractive
plant.

Well, my great aunt was - and a gardener. You are welcome to put any
number of curses on gravy, because I take after another of my relatives
and can't stand the stuff!

The message
from Danny contains these words:

Yes thankyou, I do.

Whilst I have little interest in engaging in discussion over the merits or
demerits of growing this plant, (primarily because I've had a belly full
from my gardening buddies, next door, my wife and the local priest.)

But this is a place for discussion, not an advice bureau.

I am aware of Absinthe's (the drink which contains Thujone contained in
Absinthe) notorious reputation. Suffice it to say that I had the
opportunity to observe one of the very few cases of Absinth Syndrome in
France in the summer of 1995. So to my mind there is no need to go down
that road on my account.

Discussions here are not held on one person's account, and most
contributors are capable of deciding for themselves what to include and
what to leave out.
