Into the Weeds: How to Garden Like a Forager

Find beauty and resilience in unexpected, “undesirable” plants. This book empowers gardeners to embrace a gentler, less rigid, and more sustainable approach to tending the land. Author Tama Matsuoka Wong, a master forager and gardener, invites you to break free from meticulously ordered beds and rethink your engagement with plants. The book teaches you to encourage unwanted plants, turn invasive vines into structures, and transform your surroundings into teas, tinctures, and cocktails. Part practical and part philosophical, the book includes a plant ID section for common edible and useful plants.
