Beyond the confines of our well-tended vegetable gardens, there is a wide variety of fresh foods growing in our yards, neighborhoods, or local woods. All that’s needed to take advantage of this wild bounty is a little knowledge and a sense of adventure.

The extensive information on each plant includes a full pictorial guide, recipes, and more.

Tart Greens: curlydock, sheep sorrel, and wood sorrel
Pungent Greens: wild mustard, wintercress, garlic mustard, and shepherd’s purse
