Thanks for your input.
I'm rather good with the herb-type plants, and wildflowers, just in terms
of general identification and use for dyes and medicinal purposes; but as
for eating berries and that sort of thing, it's a bit out of the realm of
what I'm familiar with, unfortunately!  (A situation soon to be remedied...)
