Edible plants are the superfoods on our doorstep. They are full of vital substances, and no matter whether we enjoy them as a piquant ground elder bruschetta, healthy hawthorn heart biscuits or a spicy wild herb pesto, they always mean additonal quality of life. In the “Wild Plant Pharmacy”, wild plant expert Dr Markus Strauß names all the best places to collect the 28 common wild plants, which can be found in the fields, meadows, on the shores of lakes or in the bushes. This wild plant guide is noteworthy because of the methods developed by Dr Strauß for self-providers to grow and cultivate wild plants, be it in their own garden, on the balcony or on the patio.
