Berries of Labrador (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781990445279)

Berries grow in every part of Labrador--bogs, barrens, forests, gulches, roadsides, yards, mountains, open sand, and wet, shady streambanks. Ripening red, orange, blue, purple, black, or white. Tasting bitter, juicy, sour, sweet, dry. Like wintergreen. Like tobacco.

Berries of Labrador combines storytelling with science to celebrate more than forty species of berries and their various uses, from food to medicine. Beautiful watercolour illustrations by Valerie Powell and short anecdotes from community members accompany each description, highlighting the cultural, historical, and ecological significance of the berries of Labrador.
