An inspirational journey around the temperate world, introducing Stephen's top 80 perennial leafy green vegetables. The reader is introduced to stories of the wild foraging traditions of indigenous people in all continents. It is of interest to both traditional vegetable and even ornamental gardeners, as well as anyone interested in permaculture, forest gardening, foraging, slow-food, gourmet cooking and ethnobotany. "This should prove to be the most exciting book of the year for veggie gardeners, plant geeks and ethnobotanists…" Emma Cooper, author, organic gardener blogger
