Acknowledgements:

First and foremost I want to thank my family. Thank you to my sons for the joy and love they bring to my life
and to my partner, for his love, support, and good cooking while I was writing this book. Deep gratitude to
my parents, who taught me to follow my passions, to give back, and to lead a purposeful life.

Thanks to Diana for her editing and behind-the-scenes work putting this book together, and to the rest of
my incredible publishing team – I am blessed to have each and every one of them.

A huge shout out to my readers (you!) for your desire to learn more about wild and medicinal plants and
perhaps even to reframe your landscape as your grocery store and pharmacy.

Thank you to the storytellers, who keep oral traditions and plant knowledge alive. I hope that this book will
help more people realize all that nature connection and wild foods have to offer us, and that every reader
of this book will form a deeper connection to the natural world, tending the wild to make it better for all
beings.

Finally, my deepest gratitude is to the plants, seaweeds, lichens, and mushrooms in this book. May our re-
lationship continue to grow.

Please note: Part of the proceeds of this book will go to The Origins Project, a non-profit we co-created with a
community of San Bushmen to help create a legacy of ancestral connection for future generations.
