It offers month-by-month insights into identifying, harvesting, and cooking wild edible plants and fungi across Great Britain. Combining expert knowledge with engaging storytelling and practical tips, this book is essential for both novice and seasoned foragers seeking to connect with nature’s wild harvests. ## Description 'He writes so engagingly that it's hard to imagine that actual foraging can be more attractive than reading his accounts of it. ...[This book] is a treasure. It is beautifully produced, designed and illustrated.' - John Carey, The Sunday Times WINNER OF THE GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARD FOR FOOD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 WINNER OF WOODLANDS AWARDS BEST WOODLAND BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 Look out of your window, walk down a country path or go to the beach in Great Britain, and you are sure to see many wild species that you can take home and eat. 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. John Wright is the country's foremost expert in foraging and brings decades of experience, including as forager at the River Cottage, to this seasonal guide. Month by month, he shows us what species can be found and where, how to identify them, and how to store, use and cook them. You'll learn the stories behind the Latin names, the best way to tap a Birch tree, and how to fry an ant, make rosehip syrup and cook a hop omelette. Fully illustrated throughout, with tips on kit, conservation advice and what to avoid, this is an indispensable guide for everyone interested in wild food, whether you want to explore the great outdoors, or are happiest foraging from your armchair. Review: Get it in Hardback - You'll love it that much - I love this book so much. In fact, you can see from the pictures that I have loved this book almost to death. And I've only had it for one year. It's stained with blackberry juice, elderflower pollen, gin, and whatever else I've found and used to cook/brew with my winnings. It has been scratched all over from rose thorns has been dropped in a few puddles, and now genuinely smells a bit "herby". The format is just perfect - I read a whole chapter at the start of the month and then dip back in for some reminders between and during foraging excursions. I still enjoy each time I re-read the informational content - which is something as I have a brain like a sieve and forget everything rather swiftly. The matter-of-fact yet sometimes mildly silly tone often has me laughing out loud. His observations on gardeners are astutely relateable as my father is a keen gardener and I a keen forager - yes I agree "sometimes I do think that gardeners feel the need to suffer". I will often read bits out to my father that relate to the weeds he is frantically trying to rid his garden of (ground elder being a great extract) and it will make us both laugh. He is also, like most fairly normal humans that are worth knowing, a slight dipsomaniac (and I will be buying his other books about how to brew your own etc). I think this is the best "all-rounder" foraging book and great for somebody who is just getting started. However, as I do not live near the sea, I travel around the UK on a narrowboat foraging the towpath hedgerows, I haven't yet, ahem, digested any of the sea-side delights the book has to offer. As this book has really inspired me to forage more I will be buying the hedgerows and mushrooms River Cottage handbooks. I say get this book in hardback because I do carry this everywhere with me and it shows. I just wouldn't anybody love it to death like I have and regret not getting a hardback copy to last a bit longer. Review: If you only buy one, buy this one! - I have had a few books on foraging before and they often wouldn't leave me confident about going out and getting most of the species in the book. This one is completely the opposite with clear pictures, really good descriptions and always has easy things to check to make sure you have the right plant or mushroom when needed. I've already had a few forays out and have collected a few delicious things and made notes of where to come back to when the time is right. The author conveys a lot of information whilst still keeping things in layman's terms and has a pretty good sense of humour so you will definitely get a chuckle or two reading it. Really impressed with this it's well worth the money. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,938 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 8 in Garden Plants 15 in Cultural Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,807 Reviews | ## Images ![The Forager's Calendar: A Seasonal Guide to Nature’s Wild Harvests - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jvYW5c76L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get it in Hardback - You'll love it that much *by V***N on 2 July 2022* I love this book so much.

Really impressed with this it's well worth the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative with friendly style of writing *by M***S on 22 May 2024* I bought this because I knew of John Ŵright from the River Cottage Handbook series. It has surpassed all my expectations. The most useful thing is to quickly be able to see what is available at any time of year, and it does that brilliantly. But what I absolutely love is his honest writing style which makes you feel as though you are being advised by a very experienced, knowledgeable and wryly humorous friend. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Forager's Calendar: A Seasonal Guide to Nature’s Wild Harvests - Food For Free: How the Gospel Unsettles Our Judgement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/183267726-the-foragers-calendar-a-seasonal-guide-to-nature-s-wild](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/183267726-the-foragers-calendar-a-seasonal-guide-to-nature-s-wild) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
