The nail file was perfectly described, however only gave 4 stars as the listing says 'in aluminium case' and mine is in an 'eco storage case' (i. It comes with a free downloadable PDF photo identification guide that includes multiple full-colour photographs of each plant to help make identification easy. Never rely on one source for plant identification, and never eat anything unless you are 100% sure it is edible. Cautions for plants, where necessary are given and if the plant has any other interesting uses then these are also covered.

My book covers forty-eight plants and includes multiple colour photographs for easy plant identification. Instead, you can download the accompanying PDF photo identification guide that includes multiple full-colour photographs of each plant to help make identification easy. However, the fact there were no images or illustrations really ruined it for me - it was hard to immerse myself in the book when I had to google every plant to see what it looked like.

I mean we all know what a dandelion looks like but people might make the fatal mistake of eating a giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) instead of common hogweed (Heraceleum sphondylium) people need to know what they look like! Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain and Ireland | Covering 48 wild edible and medicinal plants, I have written this book to help you rediscover our forgotten plant heritage. He has been recommended in BBC Good Food magazine, Sainsbury’s magazine as well as in The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph etc.

Hi, I'm Robin Harford, bestselling author of Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain and Ireland.This did, however, help me to identify wild garlic in the early summer, which I foraged till I had no more room in my freezer!

This guide is here to help keep you safe, however, please ensure that you use multiple sources for identifying plants. I absolutely love this book, it is a very valuable foraging companion on wild walks and as reference when I teach forest school.I’ve read many foraging books that have provided comprehensive pictures so that seems a bit of a cop out to me, not even illustrations so at least we could get the gist of what it kind of looks like and then if we do want to attempt finding it in the wild we could reference his guide?
