Plants can be a great source of healing as well as nourishment, and the practice of growing and harvesting from trees, flowering herbs, and other plants is a powerful way to become more connected to the land. The Indigenous Peoples of North America have long traditions of using native plants as medicine as well as for food. Held by the Land honors and shares some of these traditions. Early chapters will introduce you to responsible ways to identify and harvest plants in your area and teach you how to grow a deeper connection with the land you live on through plants. In the plant profiles section, common plants are introduced with illustrations and information on their characteristics, range, how to grow and\/or harvest them, and how to use them topically and as food. Special features offer recipes for food and beauty products along with stories and traditions around the plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Exceptionally well written, illustrated, and organized, providing the reader with informative insight into the power of everyday plants for good health and medical applications.\"-- \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCONTENTS \n\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 1: Building Botanical Relationships \n\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 2: Teachings from Plants \n\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 3: Identifying Plants to Build Your Home Apothecary \n\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 4: The Mindful Harvest \n\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 5: Botanical or Land-Based Mindfulness Practices \n\u003cbr\u003e INTRODUCTION \n\u003cbr\u003e Reflections on Indigenous Plant Knowledge \n\u003cbr\u003e \u0026amp; Building Relationships \n\u003cbr\u003e Plant Profiles \u0026amp; Recipes \n\u003cbr\u003e TREES \n\u003cbr\u003e Amabilis Fir \n\u003cbr\u003e Bigleaf Maple \n\u003cbr\u003e Black Poplar \n\u003cbr\u003e or Cottonwood \n\u003cbr\u003e Grand Fir \n\u003cbr\u003e Pacific Crab Apple \n\u003cbr\u003e Spruce \n\u003cbr\u003e Western Hemlock \n\u003cbr\u003e Western Red Cedar \n\u003cbr\u003e SHRUBS \n\u003cbr\u003e Beaked Hazelnut \n\u003cbr\u003e Blackcap \n\u003cbr\u003e Blueberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Bog Cranberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Devil's Club \n\u003cbr\u003e Highbush Cranberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Labrador Tea \n\u003cbr\u003e Ocean Spray \n\u003cbr\u003e Red Elderberry and \n\u003cbr\u003e Blue Elderberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Red Huckleberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Red-Flowering \n\u003cbr\u003e Currant \n\u003cbr\u003e Salal \n\u003cbr\u003e Salmonberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Saskatoon Berry \n\u003cbr\u003e Soapberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Tall Oregon Grape \n\u003cbr\u003e Thimbleberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Trailing Blackberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Wild Rose \n\u003cbr\u003e FLOWERING HERBS \n\u003cbr\u003e Bare-Stem Desert \n\u003cbr\u003e Parsley or Biscuitroot \n\u003cbr\u003e Broad-Leaved Plantain \n\u003cbr\u003e Camas \n\u003cbr\u003e Cattail \n\u003cbr\u003e Cow Parsnip \n\u003cbr\u003e Fireweed \n\u003cbr\u003e Nodding Onion \n\u003cbr\u003e Northern Rice Root \n\u003cbr\u003e Stinging Nettle \n\u003cbr\u003e Wapato \n\u003cbr\u003e Wild Ginger \n\u003cbr\u003e Wild Strawberry \n\u003cbr\u003e Yarrow \n\u003cbr\u003e FERNS, HORSETAILS, \n\u003cbr\u003e LICHENS \u0026amp; SEAWEEDS \n\u003cbr\u003e Beard Lichen \n\u003cbr\u003e Common Horsetail \n\u003cbr\u003e Licorice Fern \n\u003cbr\u003e Red Laver \n\u003cbr\u003e CONCLUSION \n\u003cbr\u003e Botanical Glossary \n\u003cbr\u003e Appendix \n\u003cbr\u003e References \n\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \n\u003cbr\u003e About the Author \n\u003cbr\u003e About the Recipe \n\u003cbr\u003e Contributors \n\u003cbr\u003e Index \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Generously thorough and lovingly illustrated guidebook to Indigenous plants for the absolute beginner to the seasoned expert. ...
