The Forager’s Calendar

A Seasonal Guide to Nature’s Wild Harvests

John Wright

A month by month handbook for foraging in the woods, fields and seashores of Great Britain.

From dandelions in spring to sloe berries in autumn, via wild garlic, samphire, chanterelles and even grasshoppers, our countryside is full of edible delights in any season.

The Forager’s Calendar, this delightfully funny, packed guide to what is available to forage and collect is a must have for anyone interested in foraging for food in the UK.

Shortlisted for the The Sunday Times Andre Simon Food and Drink Book Awards for 2019. This easy to use and informative book deserves to be on every bookshelf.

This wonderful book should be well-thumbed by anyone who is interested in the natural world.

The book starts with an introduction to foraging, what kit you will require, a guide to the law. And then we get to the foraging calendar where John breaks down what is available on a month by month basis. His easy writing style and humour make it both entertaining and informative. He regualarly points out when something looks simiar to a poisonous plant and also includes a section at the back on what to look out for.

A hugely useful, well-illustrated and often funny book
