A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and central North America (Peterson Field Guide) Review

As an herbalist teaching new students and helping them overcome their fears of using wild edibles and identifing herbs and edibles is a great pleasure with this book in hand. We have often went out and seen other plants, found it in the book and hurried back to the forest to find it again in person once we learned how unique it was. I have learned many more plants while performing botany in the field with this book. The pictures are very close up, so it does make identifing a challenge, but always use the guide in the front to learn how to use the book properly, except that what you call one name or think it would be, in the bological word of plants, that word has a whole other meaning. And the last of my advice, never assume that because a plant is catgoried under violet flowers that it couldn't possibly have a white or blue or whole other color bloom. Plants breed just like humans, thus causing genetic/DNA change and developing into a species of a species. An example: I have Butterfly Pea growing by my garden, the bloom is light lilac, not blue or purple and it grows a foot taller than the one described, but it is still beach butterfly pea, by the way, I live in Redclay North Carolina 255 miles Northeast from the beach.
A must have for anyone, period.

This is my main book. - Roxie J. Crouch - Willard, Utah United States
I love this book and have been using it for about 10 years. The subject of edible wild plants is one that needs alot of study and I study this book even when I am not actually looking for the plants. I like the illustrations almost better than photgraphs that some books have because the detail is better. The book is divided into flower color sections as well as terain sections and types of food sections. When I first identify a plant it is from the color of the flower so I use this section the most. Even though this book is written for the East Coast it still identifies most of the edible plants that I see in the West.

A Very Helpful Guide - Diana C. Cooper - Chesterland, OH USA
Although there are wild plants not found in this book, it would be difficult for one book to cover every single species in the area specified. This makes a perfect guide for beginners (which I am) and as a supplement with other information (books, internet, etc.) When consuming plants, it is always a good idea to check multiple sources to be sure one correctly identified a plant. This book opens a door to a whole new playground on which to explore and experiment...

Great book - A. Peterson - New York, USA
It's great to look through and find plants you've seen all over place and finally put a name on it.

I can't wait to take it camping/hiking this summer!
