The Hedgerow Handbook

Beautifully illustrated in full-colour throughout, this is the perfect guide to British hedgerows and their plants - and what to do with them.

If there's one distinctive feature of the British countryside, it has to be the hedgerow. Hedgerows can provide a great fund of fresh, wild food for us. In this book, the author reintroduces the wild and natural hedgerow ingredients that our grandmothers used on a regular basis - but gives them a fresh and contemporary twist.
