I often get asked how I identify different plants and flowers so I thought I would put together a few tips to help you on your journey in nature and foraging. I haven’t written this type of post before because I still feel so far from an expert; I feel confident in the plants I know but I still go out and see so many different plants that I can’t even start to identify. But I hope that is an encouragement for you as well because you don’t need to know everything; every new bit of knowledge is interesting and worthwhile and I don’t think we’re ever done being students of the world.

Here's some books you might find helpful as well, but also don't be afraid to look at secondhand shops or vintage books:
