Natures Garden By Samuel Thayer – Wild Edible Plant Book Review

Hey guys in this video we review Natures Garden by Samuel Thayer, and excellent book on foraging and harvesting wild edible plants. In this book Samuel gives an extremely detailed description of identification features with plenty of high quality pictures to help you out. The book doesn’t stop there because it gives detailed instructions on how to harvest and prepare them. Some of the plants he covers for several pages, like the acorn. The process of preparing the plants is made easily understood and is unparalleled except by a couple other authors. This book on wild edible plants is comprehensive on the 42 plants it covers, which may not seem like much but this is not a list of usable plants as the author states himself. The book has a text and pictorial glossary for botanical terms and a long list of sources and bibliographies in the back. Many book on wild edibles fall short but this book hits a home run and will be sure to teach you something for a long while to come. It’s a great addition to any set of foraging books but you might not want to lug it with you every time you forage because it is somewhat large and heavy, but that’s okay. Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about wild edible plants, or even experts themselves. Written from a first hand experience this book is sure to please!

I thank you guys for watching this video I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learned something. If you want to learn more about wild edibles or medicinal plants make sure to subscribe!
