Why read it?
1 author picked The Wild Wisdom of Weeds as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
We value this book because it is alone in giving equal weight to the foraging (for eating) and medicinal values (for health) of thirteen super-abundant survival plants.
We love its breezy but informed tone, its original recipes, and its underlying serious ecological purpose. What we found somewhat irritating was the twee little verses that introduce each plant: these are groan-worthy! But that’s the only and slight criticism, and we love to follow Katrina for fun and very well-informed foraging!
From Matthew's list on practical herbalism and foraging.
