This book is an immersive experience into the delights of foraging in
Spring, written by one of Britain's most respected foragers. Forage In
Spring celebrates the top fifteen edible and medicinal wild plants
found in March, April and May. It's a comprehensive exploration of
their past and present uses as food and medicine. An invaluable
addition to any forager, herbalist, gardener, horticulturist or
naturalist's library, providing plant-lovers with a much-needed
resource to understanding nature's most useful wild plants. Inside,
you'll discover the forgotten story of Alexanders, Brooklime, Cleavers
(Goosegrass), Dandelion, Garlic Mustard, Ground Elder, Ground Ivy,
Plantain, Primrose, Ramsons (Wild Garlic), Sea Beet, Sorrel,
Sowthistle, Stinging Nettle and Violet. Plants have stories that
reconnect us to the Land and the rest of Nature. As our society becomes
ever more disconnected, there is a revivalist movement flourishing like
a rhizome. This ancient path of the forager reconnects us to the vital,
to wildness, to creation, to what is in effect the very pulse of life
itself. One of the most direct ways to experience this is to consume
this wildness. Take it into our bodies, where like a sleeper agent, it
lies dormant until you have eaten enough to change the structure of
your blood, thereby changing your brain and how you relate to the
non-human world. For it is this simple act. The act of taking wild food
and medicine into our body, that in time becomes so transformative.
Forage In Spring is not a harking back to some naive, romantic vision
of how we might once have lived. Instead, these plants' stories are a
way to help you sense into the future and understand our ecological
function (as a species) within the world.
