[A] witty and beguiling meditation on weeds and their wily ways….You will never look at a weed, or flourish a garden fork, in the same way again.
–Richard Holmes, author of The Age of Wonder

In this fascinating, richly detailed book, Richard Mabey gives weeds their full due.
–Carl Zimmer, author of Evolution

Richard Mabey, Great Britain’s Britain’s greatest living nature writer (London Times), has written a stirring and passionate defense of nature’s most unloved plants. Weeds is a fascinating, eye-opening, and vastly entertaining appreciation of the natural world’s unappreciated wildflowers that will appeal to fans of David Attenborough, Robert Sullivan’s Rats, Amy Stewart’s Wicked Plants, and to armchair gardeners, horticulturists, green-thumbs, all those who stop to smell the flowers.
