Signed Books
These are my field guides to the plants of the Pacific Northwest, written from years of walking, observing, harvesting, and learning from the landscapes around me.
Each book blends practical plant identification with ethnobotany, seasonal awareness, and hands-on ways to work with plants as food and medicine. They are designed to be used outdoors, carried into the field, and slowly learned through relationship rather than memorization.
Signed copies are available here and shipped directly from my home in Washington State. Supporting my work directly like this gives me the resources to continue on with further book projects, which is my passion!
