Eat Your Weedies
Sunday, May 15th 12:30pm-2:30pm.
To forage, by definition, means to search for food or provisions. While many discredit the culinary and medicinal benefits of common weeds, such as dandelions, stinging nettles and chickweed, herbalists widely seek out these plants. Learn the basics of herbalism with naturalist Jessica Miller. Discuss the do’s and don’ts of foraging for plants and which ones to use for basic first-aid. Then head out on a seasonal “weed walk” around the property.
$8/person, $6/students, seniors, members
Registration and payment due May 8.
