Wild Plant Culture: A Guide to Restoring Edible and Medicinal Native Plant Communities
RECONNECT. RESTORE. RECIPROCATE. REPAIRING LANDSCAPES AND RECONNECTING US TO LOCAL WILD PLANT COMMUNITIES.
Intergrating restoration practices,, foraging, herbalism, rewilding, and permaculture, Wild Plant Culture is a comprehensive guide to the ecological restoration of native edible and medicinal plant communities in eastern North America, written by our own Jared Rosenbaum!
Blending science, practice, and traditional knowledge to repair both degraded landscapes and our broken cultural relationship with nature.
