About this title

Review:

"The recently released "Edible Plants for Prairie Gardens" by June Flanagan is a "must read" for both gardeners and chefs. Ms. Flanagan, who lives and gardens in Lethbridge, also wrote "Native Plants for Prairie Gardens" she integrates her strong botanical background with her local experience ? and draws on over fifty cited references to provide us with a wealth of information. . . The photographs are captivating ? often mouth-watering ? those raspberries and strawberries ! There's much in this book for both novice and experienced prairie gardeners."
-- "The Scarboro Garden Scene," Calgary

"This book is comprehensive and packed with the collective wisdom of most of the pre-eminent horticulturalists in the Northern Great Plains. Flanagan thoroughly describes in simple language how to achieve great results, and the book is formatted to answer the what, when, where, and how questions that gardeners pose to help achieve bountiful harvests.
The luscious photography provides visual encouragement that prairie dwellers can grow a breadth of crops well beyond what is commonly known, including: herbs and spices, vegetables, and fruit."
