The Thrifty Forager: Living off your local landscape

Alys Fowler

Alys Fowler takes a fresh look at foraging encouraging you to look closer to home from the weeds in your garden to the trees in your street rather than the fields and hedgerows of the countryside. Alys showcases her favourite edibles with a plant directory packed with useful information - photographic identification plant description and tips on how to grow and how to eat it (including recipes such as fruit leathers and chutney) - that will give you the confidence to identify plants yourself. The book also features innovative ideas for eating your local landscape from community gardens in Todmorden UK to Edimental (edible ornamentals) gardens in Norway - this is a fast-growing global phenomenon that is fun environmentally friendly and thrifty!>
