There’s food growing everywhere! You’ll be amazed by how many of the plants you see each day are actually nutritious edibles. Ideal for first-time foragers, this book features 70 edible weeds, flowers, mushrooms, and ornamental plants typically found in urban and suburban neighborhoods. Full-color photographs make identification easy, while tips on common plant locations, pesticides, pollution, and dangerous flora make foraging as safe and simple as stepping into your own backyard.

Industry Reviews

"[An] impressively comprehensive guide by horticulturist Zachos, who stresses the "ease and elegance" of foraging familiar plants--greens, fruits, nuts, seeds, tubers, and fungi--in yards and nearby environs. ... Eye-catching sidebars on legality, quick plant identification, food-preparation tips, and more accompany the main text, which is abundantly illustrated with full-color photos throughout."

--John Kallas, director of Wild Food Adventures

"Forget farm to table. Here's weed to bowl. ... Extremely appealing."
