What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Forget farm to table. Here’s weed to bowl. … Extremely appealing.”
”[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.”
