Description

Meet common wild edibles of Springtime already in their prime, as well as many about to flush into their moment, including those pictured and many more. This walk will introduce plants that grow commonly in a variety of ecological niches in our region -- exploring where to find them, what portion of the plant to harvest throughout the season, and how to align your foraging choices with responsible and interdependent ecological stewardship. Develop your knowledge of and relationship with local ecosystems to reclaim your place as full and worthy participant in - not alienated from - the dance of nature. Please bring your own harvest basket or bag, hand-pruners or shears if you have them, and note-taking materials if you'll want them. This is NOT primarily a collecting excursion but an educational one, but it doesn't hurt to have your materials in case, or for stopping to collect on your way home! Five scholarship tickets are available for BIPOC. Email [email protected] to claim one! Potted seedlings and divisions are available for donation at all our public events, as well as seeds, and printed or recorded music & art publications from Jim & Peggy Duke.
