This inspiring and acclaimed book is for everyone, from those who have never harvested a plant to experienced wildcrafters alike.

It teaches much more than just a few details about how to harvest, prepare and consume wild foods and instead sows the seeds of taking a whole new approach to our world and what we find in it.

Have never met Pascal in person but this book was highly recommended by a mutual student and have been following his work ever since.
