About the Author

Christine Iverson discovered a love of all things hedgerow after moving to a Sussex Downland village in 2001. This fascination led to volunteering as an apothecary at the Weald and Downland Living Museum where she taught school children about medieval and Tudor medicine. Keen to learn more, she became a regular contributor to her local parish magazine sharing the folklore and superstitions of hedgerow plants with her local community. She runs regular folklore and foraging workshops at Tuppenny Barn Organics and gives talks to local women's institutes and horticultural societies.

Lovely book, given as a gift. Looks good quality, some of the knowledge might be basic for some but I'm sure there's plenty of new information in there too.

I have a background as a scientist so am always a bit skeptical of natural remedies. However medicine started somewhere and all we had to start with was nature! So this is a really interesting and helpful book. Please follow the advice on when you should or shouldn't take these remedies. If in doubt consult a medical professional. You can get ideas for integrating more herbs into recipes- they are quite straightforward to follow. There is a mix of edible recipes and those for skin/hair etc. I have an allotment and this has really encouraged me to expand the range of herbs I grow.

I didn't buy this here but at a witchy market but I want to leave a review because I'm so chuffed with this purchase! I have a lot of other herbal books but I love that she's kept it simple, straight to the point, not full of complicated jargon or unnecessary paragraphs which makes it very easy to read. I appreciate the folklore sections and the practical recipes you can use each herb for (I'm excited to try out for myself!).Also love that she's included a list of reputable companies to purchase from which is very helpfulI'll definitely be buying her other books.Stunning covers and look great on the shelf
