The bestselling author of Foraging With Kids shows us how to gather and use traditional herbs to boost wellbeing and scatter a little magic over our lives. Discover the ancient Nine Herbs Spell and learn to create your own!
Discover traditional plants for contemporary healing
Steeped in magic and folklore, this book by bestselling author Adele Nozedar encourages us to slow down, notice the seasons and spot the herbs, trees and flowers all around us. Healers in the early medieval period drew upon the bounty of the earth to create the Nine Plants Spell – a collection of plants used for medicine, food and magic. Now, wherever we live, we too can create our own charms and rituals with healing herbs.
Organized by nine habitats, from shady plants of the meadows to secret plants of the town, discover:
Properties of 81 plants
More than 30 recipes for food, drink and home remedies
Photographs for easy identification
Historic uses, folk stories, myths and more.
This charming book is the perfect way to unearth the little-known herbal treasures hiding in plain sight all around us – and to discover just how much they can give us.
"This is an unusual, personal and really quite magical book, inspired by the true stories of real people." – Lia Leendertz, gardening journalist and author of the bestselling Almanac series "In this book, Adele reminds us of the sheer magic of herbs and plants and their ability to transform us, lift our mood and elevate us. These humble but mighty beings have been known for countless generations, yet in the book their ancient magic and beauty is groundbreaking, contemporary and incredibly exciting!" – Kate and Andrew Perry, founders of Urban Herbs, authors of The Herb Gardening Handbook “Adele's writing is a missing link between the lost stories, hidden powers, and healing gifts of the wild herbs we pass by every day.” – Gaz Oakley, chef and author of five books includingPlant to Plate
Adele Nozedar is the author of books including The Hedgerow Handbook, Foraging with Kids and The Tree Forager.

She is an ambassador for both The Herb Society and The Slow Food Movement; she has worked with Chatsworth gardeners to future-proof their grounds in view of global warming; she has worked with the Garden Museum for seven years as a forager and she is a regular at Hay Festival and Green Man Festival.
