Description
Book SynopsisA seasonal exploration of the wonders of hedgerow medicine in the Autumn and Winter.
Gloriously illustrated with her own photographs, this series is a beautiful introduction to wild foraging - packed with recipes, remedies, and ideas for making the most of nature's abundant bounty.
The books encourage a love of our native plants and their many uses and provide inspiration to gather and make your own medicine.
Ali English persuades us to turn over a small part of our own gardens to growing wild plants at a time when the natural places of the world are under threat.
