For over fifteen years I have experimented and explored the world of
wild plants. Uncovering how our ancestors used plants to nourish and
heal themselves.
I’ve spent thousands of hours digging through scientific papers, read
hundreds of books. Even gone so far as to be nomadic for over a year.
During this time I followed the seasons and plants around the highways
and byways of these isles.
I have written this book to help you rediscover our forgotten plant
heritage. To learn how to use wild plants as food and medicine.
Knowledge that was once common to everyone.
