Recommended books
These are the most useful reference books for many of the plants listed above. They are also the books that got me started on the journey of growing rare edibles and perennial vegetables.
Some links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. I only include books I actively use or strongly recommend for growing the plants in this catalogue.
Seed to Seed, Suzanne Ashworth This is the most widely used seed-saving reference book and one I still rely on regularly. It gives clear, plant-by-plant instructions for saving seed from vegetables and herbs, helping you maintain reliable strains and preserve genetic diversity in a home garden.
Best for: anyone saving seed from the vegetables, especially leafy greens, legumes, and herbs.
Perennial Vegetables: From Artichokes to Zuiki Taro, a Gardener's Guide to Over 100 Delicious and Easy to Grow Edibles, Eric Toensmeier A foundational reference for anyone interested in perennial vegetables. It covers over 100 perennial vegetables, including many species featured in this catalogue, from common artichokes to lesser known edible perennials.
Best for: building a perennial food garden and exploring unusual edible species.
Lost crops of the Incas I love this book, it got me started in rare and underutilised vegetables. It explores traditional Andean crops and highlights many species that are still rarely grown outside their native regions.
Best for: rare crop inspiration and expanding beyond standard vegetable varieties.
Lost crops of Africa A detailed overview of African traditional food crops, their nutrition, and their potential for wider cultivation. Many of these plants are highly resilient and well suited to harsh or variable climates.
Best for: climate resilient and underused food plants.
The Complete Book of Plant Propagation, H. L. Hartmann A comprehensive guide to propagation techniques including seeds, cuttings, grafting, and layering. This is a technical reference, but extremely valuable if you are propagating plants from this catalogue.
Best for: cuttings, grafting, and scaling up rare plants.
