Here’s what people are saying about Wild Plant Culture:
An uncommonly thorough reference book, a primer on plant ecology, restoration biology, and the medicinal and edible properties of Mid-Atlantic plants.... Much more than that, it is thought-provoking, aspirational and the first chapter alone is worth the price of the book.

A brilliant approach to ecological restoration simultaneous with food production!
