Why read it?
1 author picked Backyard Foraging as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Every forager I know (myself included) doesn’t just gather truly wild plants. We also harvest neglected fallen fruits and cultivated plants that were planted as ornamentals but are also great food.

From Leda's list on foraging free wild edible plants and mushrooms.
