Loriann Bird’s Revered Roots blends plant identification with ancestral teachings about wild, edible, and medicinal species. Organized as a guide to key plants, it pairs practical information on foraging and preparation with stories and teachings about how to approach these beings with respect. The book becomes both field companion and spiritual text, inviting readers to see plants not just as resources but as relatives.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because it sits at the intersection you care about: land-based knowledge, food and medicine, and a relational approach to the more-than-human world. It’s well suited for readers who already forage or garden and want to deepen the cultural and ethical side of that practice.
