EDIBLE WILD PLANTS - GROWING YOUR OWN

The guide contains references on more than 150 edible wild plants. However, finding
these in the wild is not always possible so you might like to try growing your own
specimens. If you run a chemical-free, eco-friendly, garden this also means that you
can guarantee your crop to be uncontaminated by pesticides and herbicides, something
which is not always possible to assume when harvesting plants in the wild.

It is possible to get seeds for the following 60 wild plant species covered in the guide
by mail-order from Nicky's Nurseries.
