You don't need to
trek into the forest to forage edible plants. Ideal for first-time foragers,
this book features 70 edible weeds, flowers, mushrooms, and ornamental plants
typically found in urban or suburban neighborhoods. You'll be amazed by how
many of the plants you see each day are actually nutritious edibles! Full-color
photographs make identification easy, and tips on where certain plants are
likely to be found, how to avoid pollution and pesticides, and how to recognize
the plants you should never harvest make foraging as safe and simple as
stepping into your own backyard.
