About Garden & Nature
Long before grocery stores, the woods and hedgerows set their own table every autumn. Prickly brambles heavy with blackberries, hazelnuts rattling loose from their papery husks, and sloe berries darkening to a deep blue-black after the first frost — the forest floor and field edge offered a feast for those patient enough to look. A worn basket and an unhurried morning were all the kit a forager ever needed.
