    Hey @CanadianLori
    Looks like they grow in Canada in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and most of America

    I can’t post the link yet so it’s

    In the old days Teasels were used for 'Carding' wool before the modern Carding Bat came into use. It's used for 'raising the Nap' on wool.

    I remember those days :old: :loll:

    Mrs Shiney uses them in flower arranging. :dbgrtmb:

    Hey @shiney thats a great use for them! I like them! Yes they’re nice in flower arranging! They’re staying for now then until we’ve finished everything else as we have the garden in Bath to look at too plus the allotment!
