Interested in learning how to identify medicinal plants, trees and other delicious local wild edibles? Join me on a relaxing walk in the woods! This class is perfect for the beginner/intermediate forager, herbalist outdoor enthusiast, nature lover or home cook.
We will review various spring edibles (greens, garlic/onions, flowers, roots, herbs, etc), discuss sustainable harvesting techniques and local laws, review invasive edible species and collect specimens to study/taste. Learn 20-30 edible species that are available now and take some home with you to enjoy!
The walk will be followed by a wild soda, mead and shrub tasting – and discussion of how to make your own at home! *Please note: If rain/weather is an issue on the event date, a rain date will be emailed out to registrants.
