For wild-plant lovers, herbalism students, and gardeners who want to recognize the plants growing around them. We start with the essentials.
You walk through woods or fields and want to finally name and use what grows around you.
You hesitate to harvest because you are afraid of confusing plants. You want clear markers for safer identification.
You like the idea of adding edible wild plants to your meals while keeping safety at the center.
Églantine Vignon takes you from botanical observation to safer harvesting, then into medicinal and culinary uses, one plant profile at a time.
Leaves, flowers, habitat, life cycle, used parts, and distinctive features before any harvest.
Harvest windows, good practices, respect for plant colonies, and preservation methods.
Latin name, family, active constituents, properties, indications, precautions, habitat, and dosage.
Edible parts, flavors, nutritional value, recipes, and safe-use limits for edible herbs.
One profile per plant: habitat, harvesting, traditional uses, precautions, and distinctive traits.
For each edible plant: used parts, flavor, nutritional value, culinary uses, contraindications, and a recipe.
“This course will help me identify wild plants I often see but did not dare use because I was afraid of confusing them with toxic plants. It clarified so many things for me.”
