We still live in The Garden! We are surrounded by free groceries—gourmet, organic, super-nutritious foods—that we have never tasted and do not recognize. This book not only identifies these fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables for you, it also teaches you where to find them and shows you how to prepare them.

Nature’s Garden includes:

• More than 400 color photos
  
• Comparisons with look-alikes
  
• A calendar of wild food harvest seasons
  
• Preparation tips and techniques

"Here’s a book that will grab you and hold you fascinated and amazed to the very last page . . . a rich compendium of dedicated research and first-hand experience . . . my number one choice of edible wild plants books."
—NANCY J. TURNER, PH.D., Professor of Ethnobotany, University of Victoria

"Samuel Thayer is the Euell Gibbons of the 21st century, a guy who lives what he writes about. Amid an overabundance of armchair guides to foraging, Nature’s Garden is the book you want in hand if you are actually going to head out to identify, harvest and prepare wild edible plants."
—BILL HEAVEY, editor-at-large, Field & Stream magazine

"Once again, Samuel Thayer has produced a supremely authoritative guide . . . his two books undoubtedly now set the “gold standard” for the world of foraging literature."
—GORDON HILLMAN, Professor of Archaeobotany, University College London
