Have you ever played the game Plants Vs. Zombies? In the game, you grow plants to defend your home from invading zombies. I know what you’re thinking. How could plants possibly help you during a zombie invasion? While they can’t shoot peas or squish zombies, plants can be very helpful when it comes to surviving the zombie horde.
Adam Kessel’s new book Zombie Gardening is a must-read for any zombie, gardening, nature, or survival enthusiast. Kessel covers a range of plant life that can be found in North America and how it can be used during a zombie invasion. Plant uses range from food to wart remover, from a treatment for dysentery to fever reducers. There are also pictures and descriptions of each plant, how you should harvest it, and the best way to prepare it.
Personally, I LOVE the concept of this book. The layout is visually stunning, and the information is presented in a way that anyone would understand. Plus, it’s actually interesting. Most of the time, if you do end up reading a field guide to urban plant life, it is drier than British comedy. Zombie Gardening actually made me want to learn about the anti-inflammatory effects of Narrow-Leaf Plantain (That’s not something I thought I would ever say).
I’m sure everyone has seen some of the plants in this book before, and if they haven’t I’m sure that they will start noticing them once they get their hands on this (surviving in the) field guide. This book is a great way to get anyone, especially kids, into learning more about the nature around them. It also shows you that those “weeds” that may be growing in your yard or in the sidewalk might be able to save your life one day.
The book is about 25 pages long, and it is very easy to read. For more information about Zombie Gardening, you can visit zombiegardeningbook.com.
