To call a plant a weed is doing it a real injustice—it's simply a wild plant that is not deliberately cultivated, growing where it is not wanted. Far from being useless, weeds can be medicine, food, and an important aid for wildlife. In this enlightening survey, Paul Farrell uncovers the wild beauty in 50 weeds and explains the benefits of rewilding ourselves a little. Farrell also provides stylized geometric illustrations of the dandelion, nettle, daisy, sumac, wild carrot, scarlet pimpernel, foxglove, chickweed, and deadly nightshade.
