Southwest Foraging

The desert is more generous than it looks.
From river canyons to grasslands, the Southwest holds an abundance of wild edibles waiting to be found — many unique to this region alone. Herbalist and educator John Slattery brings decades of foraging knowledge into this A-to-Z field guide, covering everything from safe plant identification to sustainable harvesting and traditional methods of preparation.

Pick fresh mulberries along the riverbank. Brew sun tea from desert willow flowers. Learn to read the land in every season — and gather from it responsibly.
Covering Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Southern Utah, Southern Nevada, and Texas, this is the guide for anyone curious about what’s growing just outside their door.

For the forager, the cook, and the deeply curious.
