Zoe ★★★★★

I've been foraging for years and still learned new preparation methods for tinctures and salves from the remedy sections. The wild food recipes are a nice bonus I didn't expect.

Henry S. ★★★★★

The illustrations make identifying plants way less intimidating for a total beginner like me. I pressed a few violet leaves into a salve last weekend using the DIY remedy section, and it actually worked.

Robert Y. ★★★★☆

I've already used the dandelion root recipe for a tea, and it was simpler than I thought. The guide is well-organized, though I wish the plant identification photos were a bit larger. Still, it's a solid resource for beginners wanting to forage.
