Druid Magery

I had the idea of making druid magic be dependent on material (specifically related to the spell they want to cast, so seeds for entangling, perhaps, or a pinch of fur for shapeshifting, etc). I was looking for a good setup for this, based on the standard magic system with spells and it's normal procedure for casting etc, but probably somehow involving Herb Lore (or Alchemy?) as preparatory, and having some form of material limitation on magery, but couldnt find anything satisfactorily.

Are there any worked examples in this direction?

Are there any magery limitations that deal with material components in this way? Come to think of it, what are the limitations for non-consumed items for magery (such as staffs/wands/etc)?
