Book – As below, so above: The wisdom of Cederberg plants

This beautifully produced book explores the rich botanical heritage and traditional wisdom of the plants of the Cederberg region, including Rooibos. Written with depth and reverence, it’s a fascinating read for nature lovers, plant enthusiasts, and anyone curious about South Africa’s extraordinary natural landscape.

In this book of thirty-two stories about plants used for healing or food in the Cederberg, we follow a woven narrative of science, mysticism, philosophy, tales of human discovery and a bit of everyday kitchen alchemy to understand a little more about our own archetypal journey.
