Summary:
An inspirational journey
around
the
world
, looking at the author's top
80
perennial
leafy green vegetables. Stories of the wild foraging traditions of indigenous people in all continents: from the Maori of New Zealand, the rich traditions of the Mediterranean people, high altitude foods with the Sherpas in the Himalayas and the wild aquatic plant that sustained Native American tribes with a myriad of foodstuffs and other products. Each
vegetable
is given a thorough description, including its traditions, stories, cultivation, where to source seeds and
plants
, and how to propagate it. There is also a sprinkling of recipes inspired by local gastronomy. This
adventure
in climate-friendly
vegetable
growing is interesting to both traditional
vegetable
and ornamental gardeners, as well as people interested in permaculture, forest gardening, foraging and ethnobotany.
