Discover the natural bounty in your own community in this introductory series! You will learn how to identify various local plant species, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and fruits, prior to taking a dive into ecosystem connections and foraging etiquette. Then, with that background knowledge, you will explore your community in search of wild-edibles to learn how to prepare and use plants in the kitchen. This course will focus on the benefits of incorporating wild-edibles in our diets, how to identify plants, and creating dishes using in-season flowers and foliage. Each class will include a lecture portion and a "Plant of the Week" portion, where we shall focus on a plant that is currently available for foraging, as well as its benefits and how to utilize it throughout the week.
All materials, except for note taking materials, are provided.
