Deck of Cards -Plants

[TeeDee]

Has anyone found any one whom manufactures a GOOD set of Playing cards with bushcrafty/survival type information upon - predominately thinking plants/trees

One of those deck of cards that has information on that is dual purpose. Bit gimmicky but easy way to learn I guess.

We had one of those packs years ago, long before BcUK, when my sons were little.
I have no idea what happened to them.

Richard Graves comes to mind somehow with them. The Australian fellow who wrote the books on bushcraft. From ropes and cords to campcraft, from food and water to snares and traps, firemaking to navigation, etc.,

It was a good way for the children to pick up information.

Pretty sure we had a set on trees too; British trees.

I couldn't comment on the quality, as I've not seen them in person, but there are these:

It was playing with a set of 'British Birds' playing cards when I was a nipper that first taught me quite a few of our native species. I've looked for a set recently but they're all 'Birds of the World' - much more dramatic I'm sure but not as educational for the UK

There are a few 'wild flower playing card' sets such as these:
