Grow an Abundance of Food and Medicine-Naturally and Sustainably

The Forager's Garden is your guide to transforming ordinary lawns and meadows into thriving ecosystems that nourish both body and soul. With minimal maintenance, you'll learn to cultivate a landscape rich in edible and medicinal plants-designed to work in harmony with nature.

This book goes beyond traditional foraging. It's about creating a living, breathing garden where wild and cultivated plants coexist, supporting a community of humans, animals, and beneficial insects. As food prices rise and conventional gardening becomes more labor-intensive, The Forager's Garden offers a refreshing alternative. Instead of battling weeds and pests, you'll embrace nature's rhythms. Where traditional gardens struggle by midsummer, the wild garden flourishes-requiring little upkeep and offering increasing yields year after year.

Inside you'll find chapters on:

• Planning
• Earth Time
• Creating Habitat
• Natives in the Landscape
• The Forest Landscape
• Naturalized Aliens
• The Harvest
• The Wild Apothecary
