A guide to how plants, vegetables, fruits, grains etc were used for food and medicine amongst other things.

This is a very well researched and written book, I find it fascinating how many plants were used as daily routine, it was second nature to turn to what grew around them to feed and heal, I also find it sad how so many are dismissed as weeds or garden flowers in our modern times.
As an amateur herbalist, I love the feeling of picking herbs and plants I have grown, whether to eat or heal and this book renewed my fascination with it but also gave me ideas for what to forage and grow in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers Pen & Sword for a copy to read and review.

The book has not been added to Goodreads yet but when it does I will add my review.
