For those who live in or near the country, foraging is a fantastic way to find free plants to use for food and medicinal use. Foraging (sometimes called "wildcrafting") is less than labor-intensive than gardening and more sustainable because the plants grow whether you take care of them or not.

Just be sure to ask permission before you go "shopping" on someone else's property!
