    Very useful.

    Very useful when out and about in the countryside. I was looking for Sloe berry's and was able to find quite a lot in a nearby forest plus the book gave me a recipe for Sloe Gin.

  • Most critical review

    It depends what you’re wanting to get from this book

    For me, this book was lacking on the detail I was looking for. But if you want an at-a-glance plant reference with a recipe attached it’s fine. I would have liked greater details regarding the plant in question, both pictorial and descriptive. This is rather generalized. For example, many uses for the Elderberry Bush are overlooked, and it’s the same throughout the book, which is why I gave it 3 stars.

  • Lovely little colourful book with great pictures. Ideal to take out walking in a rucksack

    I have bought this for a family member for Christmas who likes to gather what she can from nature. This lovely little book is handy, colourful and informative. Will be ideal for carrying out walking and the clear pictures will help her to identify what is safe and what is not. Really pleased with this purchase.

  • This book has two titles

    I have this book already it has been retitled. So now I've bought twice. Not good value to me as I paid postage too this time. If you don't have this book it is a good buy 🙂
