Step into the wild and discover the plants that have nourished, healed, and accompanied people for generations. Where The Wild Things Grow is a richly illustrated foraging and field guide to 109 edible and medicinal plants of the American Northwest, written by herbalist, forager, educator, and author Jessica Freeborn. Drawing from years spent foraging, teaching, and working with plants from the California Central Coast to the mountains of North Idaho, Jessica brings together practical field knowledge, traditional herbal wisdom, history, and personal experience. The guide begins with the foundations of thoughtful foraging, including foraging ethics, plant names, collecting and preserving, wild versus domesticated plants, dosages, and the Doctrine of Signatures. From there, readers journey through Herbs and Flowers and Trees and Shrubs, discovering the plants that grow across the varied landscapes of the American Northwest. Each plant profile includes common and botanical names, plant family, identification and description, habitat, when and how to harvest, medicinal uses, healing constituents and therapeutic actions, historical connections, and Jessica's Notes-personal stories and field experiences gathered through a life lived close to the land. Illustrated with full-color photographs captured by the author and complemented by a bibliography and index, Where The Wild Things Grow is both a practical field companion and an invitation to look more closely at the plants growing just beyond your doorstep. More than a field guide, it is an invitation to know the land, gather with care, and rediscover the old relationship between people and plants.
