Edible wild plants from the home garden

Wild vegetables, wild fruit, wild herbs - rarely do you meet them in the home garden, yet they often have more flavor and are richer in taste than their conventionally cultivated relatives. And Marlies Ortner's guide proves it: Even from a small home garden, a wild plant garden can still be created; with fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, with wild perennials, herbs and edible wildflowers that enrich any salad buffet. In detailed portraits, which also reveal valuable information about their use in the kitchen and hidden knowledge about the value of the plants for wildlife, the author presents many different wild fruit trees and shrubs, wild perennials and herbs. These are preceded by a detailed guidebook section with useful tips on how to plant a wild plant garden - with a wild fruit hedge, with a flower meadow, with a dry or wet biotope and wild fruit trees.
