Forage In Spring

Spring begins at ground level.

Not on the calendar. Not in a forecast.

But in the wild leaves pushing up through the soil.

When you learn to recognise them, the season opens differently. You start to notice yourself differently, too.

In Forage In Spring, you are guided through 15 iconic wild plants found in March, April, and May.

Through clear photographs, detailed identification notes, and grounded storytelling, you'll discover:

• How to identify Alexanders, Garlic Mustard, Cleavers, Stinging Nettle, Ramsons, Ground Elder, and nine other spring plants
• Their traditional food and medicinal uses
• Cultural context, folklore, and forgotten stories
• Ideas for using them in your kitchen or apothecary

No fluff. Just what's useful, and beautiful, about each plant.

This isn't just a book about plants.

It's a way of re-entering a relationship that never stopped waiting for you.

Because reconnecting with the land doesn't require a cabin in the woods. Just a patch of ground and your attention.

Let these 15 plants be your starting place.
