Field Guides on Plant Identification Books

[Michelle KochStudent]

One day, in the not too distant future, Mr. Fundog and I are going to uproot ourselves from our stationary life and go traveling the country in an RV. Obviously I would have to leave my lovely herb garden behind. 🙁 To console myself, I want to be able collect herbs from the wild when we camp. This means being able to confidently and correctly identifying them.

All that to ask: Does anyone have some good titles and authors to refer me to? Color pictures are much better than sketch drawings for me. If I’m camping i may not always have internet access, so that’s where picture books are invaluable.

Thanks. 🙂

Do you have Doc Jones book The HomeGrown Herbalist Guide To Medicinal Weeds? I have sever herb identification books but Doc Jones book is the one I take with me everywhere.

Both of my books are here:

I’m currently working on a set of Herb ID cards that could be taken into the field. Stay tuned.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
