Wild Medicine, Spring

Following on from Wild Medicine: Summer, herbalist Ali English’s seasonal exploration of the wonders of hedgerow medicine continues with Autumn/Winter (2019) and Spring (2020). 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 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.
