I just got it in the mail today and after just one flip through I think it is going to become one of my most used books.
It’s basic but thorough and covers basic botany, wildcrafting, making plant medicine, as well as individual plant profiles which include ID, harvesting, medicinal uses, cautions, how to harvest safely to ensure future harvests and/or how to propagate, and the best herbal preparations for each plant.
There is also a super helpful chart showing each plant and what time of year it actively growing for harvesting.
AND these are plants that actually grow where I live! So many of my books have plants that don’t grow here or don’t have plants that do grow here.
There are books for each region of the U.S. Affiliate links are below. I can’t wait to devour this one. I almost want to get one of each to compare how the plants overlap by region.

Southwest: https://amzn.to/3T6YeNj
Pacific Northwest: https://amzn.to/3R5d7h8
Southeast: https://amzn.to/3pAfn4z
Check them out. I think they are going to be super useful!
