I give Elves a special spell of Assemble Wood, which allows them to take
miscellaneous twigs, etc. and Assemble them into logs for a fire or
planks for a home - without damaging the trees.  This sounds appropriate
for Druids too.  Admittedly, it's not an offensive spell.

Offensive spells (both senses of the word) for Druids might involve
burning people up as sacrifices (wicker baskets optional).  See "The
Wicker Man" (ideally the unedited version) for details.

For less elaborate rituals, Druids might have some use of Ignite Pine Cone
which would allow pine cones to be hurled doing fire damage plus possibly
igniting the victim's clothes/hair.  They might also use Ogham Runes for
various effects.  And the Mabinogion seems to indicate Druids could learn
a lot of Illusion spells fairly easily.  For even kinkier ideas, read
Graves' THE WHITE GODDESS.
