This veritable marine treasure trove of a book is richly illustrated by the author, with fifty of the most beautiful, easily encountered, and sometimes astonishing marine organisms found on British coasts, from seemingly exotic seahorses and starfish, to peculiar sea-potatoes and sea lemons.

For more than thirty years, she has grown veg, run taste trials and ultimately discovered the best edible produce that rewards you with huge yield and delicious flavour for minimal effort. As her remarkable journey shows us, science is not a realm apart from ordinary life, but deeply connected with our humanity. After walking 630 miles homeless along the Salt Path, the windswept and wild English coastline now feels like their home.No one has done more to transform our understanding of trees than the world-renowned scientist Suzanne Simard.

Following the year from January to December at Sarah’s home, Perch Hill, A Year Full of Veg reveals the secrets to developing a kitchen garden of your own – one that is colourful and generous no matter how small or large your space, and without a bare patch of soil in sight.
