Forage in Autumn

Autumn is abundance.

But only for those who know where to look.

While the days shorten and most people see the land settling into sleep, nature is still giving - generously. Hidden in hedgerows, tucked beneath turning leaves, are plants that have nourished and healed for generations. Most people walk past them every day.

In Forage In Autumn, you'll be guided through the fifteen most useful wild edible and medicinal plants of September, October and November. You will discover:

• How to identify, harvest and use Beech, Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Oak, Rosehip and ten others
• Traditional and contemporary applications as both food and medicine
• The cultural stories, folklore and forgotten wisdom behind each plant
• Clear, practical guidance written in plain English
• How to reconnect with place and season through direct experience

This isn't nostalgia. It's a way forward.

When we eat wild food, we don't just nourish ourselves. We change our chemistry. We rewire the way we see and relate to the world around us. This book isn't about romanticised myths or ancient foragers. It's about remembering what's still alive. It's about rekindling your own wildness. It's about taking the intelligence of the land into your body, slowly, seasonally, and on your own terms.

So that the next time you step outside in autumn, you won't just see fallen leaves. You'll see food. You'll see medicine. You'll see home.
