What a joy it has been to receive and read this book! Clearly laid out with well researched information on identification, history, traditional and modern uses. The photographs… are both beautiful and clear. This book offers a practical insight into the medicinal uses of local plants showing clearly that we have our own medicine chest right on our doorstep – all we have to do is step outside!

Many of the herbs may be common, but are often neglected as generations have resorted to chemical substitutes. However, Julie and Matthew have tried and tested these herbs and their recipes offer the reader insightful experience to encourage the use of these glorious herbs.

Plants, like people, may have gone but should never be forgotten. The herbs in this book have earned a reputation and have many uses that, thankfully, we are reminded of and hopefully encouraged to bring back into use.
