Harvest wild plants, herbs, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, seaweeds, and shellfish with this comprehensive and well-illustrated introduction to foraging. Foraging for wild food is growing more and more popular as people become increasingly interested in eating not only organic but also local fresh food - for free.

You'd be surprised at the bounty of wild food you can find practically on your doorstep: some native plants, some escapes from ancient gardens and all delicious. Most of these foods are within easy reach - however, you've got to know what you're looking for and where to go and when.

Arranged in a directory of categories divided into wild plants, herbs, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, seaweeds and shellfish, this book has all of the information you need alongside clear illustrations to help you identify a wholesome and natural food store, all for free. Hints on how to prepare and eat your foraged bounty are also included, along with advice on seasonality.

Author David Squire has a lifetime's experience with plants. He studied botany and gardening at Hertfordshire College of Horticulture and at the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley, Surrey. Throughout his gardening and journalistic career, David has written more than 80 books on plants and gardening. He also has a passionate interest in the uses of native plants, whether for eating and survival, or for their historical roles in medicine, folklore and customs.

'A really excellent introduction to foraging—the perfect beginner's book providing enough ID, background and general foraging information to get anyone started.'
