Wildflowers of the Santa Barbara Foothills by David Powdrell and Hugh Margerum

Santa Barbara's Mediterranean climate rewards us with a vast array of wild flora that is both beautiful and intriguing. For centuries this flora sustained the Chumash Indians with many useful nutritional and medicinal properties. 

This book opens the door to the mysterious world of backyard botany and history with its captivating photographs and interesting research of the wildflowers of Santa Barbara.

Our small backpack sized companion book, Afield Guide to Common Plants of the Santa Barbara Foothills, is an excellent resource for plant identification when venturing into the local foothills. Of equal interest is the website ww.sbplants.com which continues to identify and describe the local flora in an interactive format. 

This is a hardcover book.
