Discover the edible riches in your backyard, local parks, woods, and even roadside! In The Joy of Foraging, Gary Lincoff shows you how to find fiddlehead ferns, rose hips, beach plums, bee balm, and more, whether you are foraging in the urban jungle or the wild, wild woods.

You will also learn about fellow foragers--experts, folk healers, hobbyists, or novices like you--who collect wild edibles and are learning new uses every day. Along with a world of edible wild plants, you'll find essential tips on where to look for native plants, and how to know without a doubt the difference between edibles and toxic look-alikes.

There are even ideas and recipes for preparing and preserving the wild harvest year-round!
