Let's go out and pick berries! Foraging for wild berries is one of the most enjoyable and delicious of family outdoor activities. Berries grow in all parts of North America and come in a wide variety of colors, sizes and shapes. But how do you know which ones are safe to eat and which could make you sick, or worse? Good Berry Bad Berry is the authoritative one-stop guide to identifying and safely enjoying these healthy "superfruits" -- with clear descriptions and full color photographs of 40 of the most widely available berries in North America (including a separate listing of berries found only in certain regions). Packaged with heavy matte-laminated pages and concealed-wire binding for handy, water-resistant use outside.
From Joe Lamp'l, host of HGTV's "Growing a Greener World":
"What a great resource! While I've often wondered which berries are good, bad or neutral, now I know - and so glad I do. Even better, Helen offers so much additional and interesting information for each of the 40 berries (who knew?) that we encounter in our gardens, landscapes and natural areas around the country. I'm thrilled to have this book as my one and only go-to guide on the topic."
