AN AMAZING BOOK! This book got me into foraging and going into the wilderness just to get ingredients for a salad! It sparked a full love of new zealand wildlife and biology inside me, and inspired me to try a whole new world of plant uses I never even knew about. Incredible book, must get for passionate plant persuers!
