Where The Wild Things Grow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218825874)

Where the Wild Things Grow is a richly illustrated field guide and heartfelt companion for those seeking to reconnect with the healing wisdom of the land.

Drawing on years of hands-on foraging and teaching across the wild landscapes of California and Northern Idaho, author and herbalist Jessica Freeborn shares practical wisdom and stories of over one hundred edible and medicinal plants.

Opening with Foraging the Freeborn Way, readers are guided through the ethics of wildcrafting, seasonal rhythms, and the art of gathering in right relationship with the earth. Two main sections - Herbs and Flowers of the Wild and Trees and Shrubs of the Forest - offer detailed plant profiles blending identification, habitat, traditional healing uses, and field notes gathered from a life lived close to the soil.

Enriched with full-color photographs captured by the author, a glossary, and a healing index, this book is both a guide and an invitation to remember that the plants surrounding us hold the power to heal our bodies, our communities, and our connection to the living world.
