What flowers can you eat? How do you create a herbarium? Where can you find mulberries? And why is it worth looking for mushrooms under their caps? The handbook for foragers and collectors shows how wonderful it is to search for easily recognizable plants and animals found everywhere and what can come from it. Whether in the forest, on the meadow, by the shore, or at the beach - Erica Bakker and Ellen van den Broek have compiled a fantastic selection of various activities, craft ideas, and recipes for all ages and seasons, evoking many childhood memories: weaving flower crowns, roasting chestnuts, collecting shells, making blackberry jam, sewing lavender sachets, making elderflower syrup, or creating your own bath additives. This book is perfect for anyone who loves to venture out and experience something on their hikes and bike rides.
