About the book
This is the medicinal plants volume of the famous Peterson Field Guides series, by herbal photographer and ethnobotanist Steven Foster with co-author Christopher Hobbs. Peterson guides are built around Roger Tory Peterson's field-mark system, which highlights the few key features that separate a plant from its look-alikes instead of burying you in full botanical descriptions. Each entry pairs identification photos and range information with the plant's documented traditional uses and safety notes.
About the series
The Peterson Field Guides, founded in 1934, are among the most trusted field references in North America, spanning birds, plants, and beyond. The medicinal plant volumes bring that same identification rigor to the plants of North American herbal tradition, which makes this a natural companion for hikers who keep meeting plants they recognize from our shelves.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
