Come and learn about wild edible plants in your neighborhood, how to identify, use, and enjoy them.

We will walk and learn how to identify and use wild edible plants, their nutritional values, and history. We finish with a small picnic – testing different wild plants in salads, pesto, jams, pickles, vinegar.

Getting engaged with wild foods brings out your adventurous spirit, satisfies the drive to be more self-reliant, and fulfills the desire to connect more intimately with the earth and its bounty.
