A colorful, illustrated tribute to the wild plants of the world and why we should love them rather than hate them, featuring 50 graphic illustrations by Paul Farrell.
To call a plant a weed is a real injustice. It's merely a wild plant that is not intentionally cultivated, growing where it is not desired. Based on this definition, almost every plant outside of a tended garden is a weed.
The intolerance for weeds is a sign of how we have turned our backs on nature and urbanized our land and lives. In this enlightening exploration, illustrator Paul Farrell highlights the wild beauty of weeds and explains the benefits of wilding ourselves a little. Weeds can be medicines, food, and an important aid for wildlife. A weed to someone is a wild beauty to someone else.
Paul's wonderful modern illustrative style shows us dandelions, burdocks, and feverfew from a completely new perspective. Each of the 50 weeds included is accompanied by an intriguing story and its uses in medicine, cooking, the arts, and even industry.
Sample contents: weeds of the USA/Canada: Dandelion, Daisy, Groundsel, Chicken Grass, Nettle, Wild Carrot, Sumac. Weeds of the UK/Europe: Cleavers, Deadly Nightshade, Yarrow, Rosebay Willowherb, Robert's Herb, Scarlet Pimpernel, Violet, Woody Herb, Red Valerian, Common Nettle.
