LUNCHTIME FORAGING WALK – Learn Plant ID, Learn edible plants– NEW LOCATION

Thursday, July 9, Noon, LUNCHTIME PLANT ID WALK

NOTE — WE HAD TO CHANGE LOCATION.  THIS WILL BE BY LOCAL STREAM. ONCE YOU REGISTER, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE LOCATION.

Ever wondered what sort of useful plants  grow right in the city, including medicinal plants?  We’ll explore a unique one-acre wildlife sanctuary in the Highland Park area where we will see native plants, cultivated plants and many of the plants so typical of the urban areas.

You will be able to collect samples.  There is also a greenhouse on -site where you can purchase potted plants to take home to your garden.

We will learn about the food uses, medicines, fibres, and more. Our discussion will revolve around ethical foraging, and you will be able to collect greens to take home, and cuttings in some cases.  There is also a nursery on the site where you can purchase various potted plants to take home.

We’ll also make a simple salad so you can taste some of the in-season foods!  An excellent opportunity to see and taste some of the plants that everyone living in this area will encounter most of the time.

We will also review the Botanical Families that are entirely safe.   A good time to review.

Bring a bowl!

A great survival skills for the ages.

Bring a bowl, and water.   Be sure to RSVP.
