About the Event
Watch where you step—you may be trampling a yummy meal.
Join us for a treasure hunt of wild edible and medicinal plants. You will learn useful properties of weeds commonly found in urban yards and how to properly harvest and prepare them.
Take home ideas for integrating wild edibles into your landscape by touring the naturalized yard of Fred Meyer, founder of Backyard Abundance. The yard has wild edibles growing in dedicated beds, in the lawn, in permaculture orchards, in vegetable gardens and in a sleep spot.
You are invited no matter your level of outdoor experience. All are welcome.
Please contact us before class if mobility accommodations may be needed—we will cover quite a bit of ground during the class.
Yummy snacks generously provided by New Pioneer Co-op.
