Every spring, the low deserts of Arizona are covered in a variety of yellow flower petals that litter every parking lot and road within the city. These flowers belong to the many bean trees that grow throughout the Sonoran Desert. 

These showy flowers are only here for a short time in the spring, and they leave behind sweet, edible beans. These beans have been a staple food product to humans and animals alike  in this region for thousands of years. 

In this fully-illustrated zine, you will learn more about these amazing trees and the role they play in desert ecosystems.

This zine includes:

• Visual identification guide of beans, flowers, and leaves

• Instructions for gathering and eating tree beans

• Glossary of all bean trees found within Arizona

Full color 5.5" x 8.5" stapled booklet 20 pages.
