This article explores the intrinsic connection between language and culture through the lens of English proverbs containing phytonyms (plant names). Proverbs, as an essential part of folklore, serve as a reflection of a nation’s worldview, traditions, and way of thinking. The study highlights how phytonyms in English proverbs encapsulate cultural values, historical experiences, and collective wisdom.
