Review

This is a wonderful resource that is not only full of information on individual plants, it also sets forth a vision for how we may live in a regenerative way in the beautiful landscape of the Bay Area --Drew Harwell

In a world focused on serious issues such as climate change and the redesign of energy, food, and human shelter systems . . . Mia and Kevin's work shines as a functional and joyful solution to the seemingly massive scale of the human footprint. Eating the plants that are available, and growing wild in your neighborhood and region is more than a symbolic gesture towards honoring ecology . . . it returns you to the ecological system as functioning member, like any other bird, bug, or mammal. --Rebecca Burgess, Author of Harvesting Color -- How to Find Plants and Make Natural Dyes

The perfect book for the modern day Bay Area forager --Matt Berry

This is a fantastic little book! Some people complain that there are not maps showing where some plants can be found, but anyone who has hiked any one of the numerous trails in the bay area or just paid attention while walking down the street will recognize many of the plants listed in this book. Hubby and I live in Santa Cruz County and we were delighted to discover many plants growing alongside the little trail behind our house. We love this because it opens your eyes to the wild bounty around you, makes our world a little bigger. We may not do much foraging, but being able to name the "weed" in front of you has a pleasure of its own.

Great book for San Francisco Bay area Foragers. I've seen a lot of these plants here in San Francisco. Free Veggies. Just wash really good and becareful of roadsides, Freeways because of toxins. My learn the UET. (Universal Edible Test from US Army). Also, Carry Activated Charcoal in case of poisoning. Activated Charcoal can come from FRESH Burned wood. - The black stuff. And if in doubt, don't eat it. Learn Plant ID Characteristics. Pinnate, Palmate leaves. But at least Carry Activated Charcoal. Works for all know plant poisons except mushrooms and ergot poisoning. Becareful, do a little research and have fun.

I love this book so much I have bought it as a gift for several people over the years. I've grown up in the bay area, so I have some familiarity with the plants that grow in the area, and I still learned a lot from this book! It has excellent information and great color photos that make it easy to confidently identify plants.

Good read, but I was a little disappointed it didn't have maps or lay out what's good to forage by different seasons.
Maybe because the book states that foraging in public places in frowned upon by the law.
