Wild Spring Salads
how to bring foraged greens gently in
Hello Wild Ones, it’s been awhile!
Thankyou for being ever so patient with me and for staying through my season of grief, change and difficulty. Spring is here and the wild plants are easing me back into my creativity and I’d like to re-emerge into this space ready to inspire you all to go foraging, get outside, lie on the ground, and/or notice the Swifts flying overhead.
The greenest greens are delighting my senses at the moment - Wild Garlic, Elm samoras, new Beech leaves, Nettle. But the plants im nibbling on most right now are Dandelion and Jack-by-the-Hedge (otherwise known as Garlic Mustard). Last Spring I wrote a lot on Dandelion which I will link to at the bottom of this post, so today I will be sharing with you a video from my back garden where I chat inanely about these two plants, and - coming soon - a monograph on Garlic Mustard. That’s a sheet with all the facts, ID info and pictures on it.
