Plant Identification

Meagan Visser, Blog Coordinator

Peterson Field Guides, Medicinal Plants and Herbs is one book that never fails to accompany me on a foraging trip. This book has been invaluable in helping me identify unfamiliar plants I come across, explaining a plant’s botanical description to my kids, or quickly searching for beneficial health properties a plant might have. It also provides information on the most common plant parts used, plant toxicity, and where the plant has been located. Beyond its usefulness in foraging, it is a great book to accompany me and my kids on our nature studies for school!
