About this book:

Urban Foraging: Edible Plants in City Parks Discover a hidden pantry thriving right in your neighborhood parks, sidewalks, and green spaces. *Urban Foraging: Edible Plants in City Parks* shows you how to safely identify, harvest, and turn city‑grown weeds, berries, nuts, and fungi into fresh, nutritious meals—without ever leaving town.

Learn the essential rules of responsible foraging, from spotting pollution‑free zones to mastering the “if in doubt, leave it out” principle, and build confidence with clear identification guides, seasonal charts, and fool‑proof cooking techniques.

Transform everyday walks into culinary adventures: whip up dandelion salads, elderflower syrups, acorn‑based breads, and wild‑herb pestos, then preserve your bounty for year‑round enjoyment. Join a growing community of urban foragers and turn the concrete jungle into your own sustainable larder.
