Southwest Foraging Guide

Southwest Foraging by John Slattery

The Southwest is ripe with wild edibles, no matter the season. From deserts to grasslands, river canyons, to forests, a rich harvest of tasty plants-many found only in this region-awaits the curious forager.

Herbalist, educator, and lecturer John Slattery shares his expert foraging knowledge, including traditional methods of gathering and processing. Savor fresh mulberries along the trail, or blend them with foraged nuts and seeds for snacking. Enjoy a simple but delicious sun tea made from desert willow flowers. Along the way, learn what to look for, when and where to look, and how to gather the abundant wild edibles of the Southwest responsibly
