Need help finding a book on identifying edible plants growing wild

[davephillyj]

Where could I get a book on things that grow wild that are safe to eat?? I know dandelions are safe and poke salat:gdlicklips:, but I would like to be able to get a "survival" type book to identify all types of edible plants around. Where would I find something like that??

 

My sis is REALLY wanting one for her Birthday this year and she has had no luck, so I thought maybe I could surprise her! TIA:cheesy:

I found a few by googling.

 

Here's one on Amazon Books, looks interesting

I din't ev en think about googling edible plant book. I was typing in survival of pandemics. That was she was looking up. It was just taking me to infomational pages. THANK SO MUCH! I ordered four different books! I sent her two and two to me.

 

With that swine/bird/human flu MIXTURE that has turned up in the states here she is in a full out panic attack. I have a really full huge pantry at all times, so I do not worry about it as much, but I thought they may be something great to have in our survival box/kit anyway! I got one that had wild grown medicines! Thanks "scout":D

You are welcome. I like to find stuff that other people are looking for.

 

I also had to google "Pandemics" didn't know what that meant. Thanks for the new word.
