Foraging New England: Finding, Identifying, and Preparing Edible Wild Foods and Medicinal Plants from Maine to Connecticut Review
Tom Seymour has created a book perfect for the novice New England forager and budding naturalist. I got tired of pulling weeds from my yard and garden and wondered if they actually served a purpose. Shortly after purchasing this book I was enjoying garden 'weeds' at the table with my family. So many of them really are better tasting (and more nutritious) than commercially cultivated plants that we're offered in the produce aisle at the market. Tom's progression from the edible to the beneficial properties of the plants he discusses led me to harvesting and storing many plants for future use. I now have a farmer's market business selling herbal teas and body products made from native plants and medicinal herbs. Thanks, Tom, for awakening the naturalist within me!
