A colorfully illustrated round of the season in the garden of the best-selling novelist, memoirist, and champion putterer with a wheelbarrow On the perimeter of Israel’s Jezreel Valley, with the Carmel mountains rising up in the west, Meir Shalev has a beloved garden, “neither neatly organized nor well kept,” as he cheerfully explains. Often covered in mud and scrapes, Shalev cultivates both nomadic plants and “house dwellers,” using his own quirky techniques. He extolls the virtues of the lemon tree, rescues a precious variety of purple snapdragon from the Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway, and does battle with a saboteur mole rat. He even gives us his superior private recipe for curing olives. Informed by Shalev’s literary sensibility, his sometime riotous humor, and his deep curiosity about the land, My Wild Garden abounds with appreciation for the joy of living, quite literally, on Earth. Our borrowed time on any particular patch of it is enhanced, the author reminds us, by our honest, respectful dealings with all manner of beings who inhabit it with us.

Introduce children to the wonders of nature with this beautiful guide to edible and non-edible plants. Each page is a collage of full color photographs of each plant or weed to make identification in the real world easy. Simple but clever rhymes are easy for children to recall to help remember if the plant is edible or toxic. This book is a great primer for children, and the beautiful pages make it a reference book for years to follow. Although based primarily in the northwest, this book covers over 20 prominent weeds, many of which, such as dandelions and clover, can be found across the country. This book is a must have to teach children about foraging wild food for fun or basic survival, or to prevent accidental poisoning.
