A portable battery powered shredder for use in shredding readily yielding parts of a plant comprises an outer housing having a substantially hollow interior; a receptacle mounted in the interior of the outer housing; an opening in the outer housing to permit access to the receptacle; a lid for selectively precluding access to the receptacle; a sharp blade disposed within the receptacle; an electrically powered motor connected in driving relation with the sharp blade; a battery for powering the electrically powered motor; an electrical switch to permit selective actuation of the electrically powered motor. In use, an apportionment of readily yielding parts of a plant to be shredded is passed through the opening and deposited into the receptacle means, the apportionment is shredded by the shredding means upon the selective actuation of the electrically powered motor, and the apportionment is subsequently removed from the receptacle means. Further, a method of shredding an apportionment of readily yielding parts of a plant in a portable battery powered shredder. The method comprises the steps of accessing the interior of the shredder; depositing an apportionment of the plant to be shredded into a receptacle in the shredder; closing an electrical circuit including an electrically powered motor, thuspowering the motor so as to actuate a shredding means within the receptacle means, thereby shredding the apportionment of the plant; and, removing the shredded apportionment of the plant from the shredder. -21-
