Weedy Wisdom for the Curious Forager by Rebecca Gilbert

Find delicious and healthful plants hiding in plain sight with the guidance of Rebecca Randall Gilbert, the Weed Witch of Jabberwocky. This beginner-friendly book shows you how to incorporate foraging into your life with eight essential lessons based off classes Rebecca taught at Camp Jabberwocky, the oldest summer camp in the US for people with disabilities. You'll enjoy a wide range of topics, including edible flowers, plants for first aid, using leaves as a foundational food, and more. Weedy Wisdom for the Curious Forager features dozens of recipes, hands-on activities, and thought-provoking social themes. You'll learn how to work with invasive plants, preserve your harvest with fermentation, and find flavor correspondences. From roots, seeds, and sprouts to mint, sassafras, and beyond, this practical book deepens your understanding of plants and reveals important life lessons.
REBECCA RANDALL GILBERT (Martha s Vineyard, MA) discovered her love of foraging at age six when she spent the summer with her grandmother in Martha s Vineyard. She has been exploring the subject and grazing on the same farm ever since. She teaches a variety of rural skills at Native Earth Teaching Farm, which she and her husband opened to the public in 2002. www.NativeEarthTeachingFarm.org
