| Publisher Description: Fireweed, as the full title implies, is all about introducing your kids to plants. It's about teaching young children the joy of gathering edibles, and making them into candies, teas, jellies, or even medicines. There's tips for going on plant walks, and suggestions for good introductory plants like ginger, mint, and marshmallow. There are recipes for prickly pear crisp, catnip tea, and simple fermented herbal infusions. The authors conduct a couple interviews with parents about their experiences sharing plants with their children. This zine is really inspiring. |
