When Christopher was studying with Dr. Leonid Enari\, Christopher worked with Dr.Enari to define the botanical families that are entirely safe for food\, or safe with some qualifications.  This became an Appendix to Christopher’s first book\, “Guide to Wild Foods.”  This class will look at these safe families\, how to recognize and use them\, and any qualifications that you should know about.  Some of these families are very easy to recognize — such as seaweeds\, grasses\, onions\, mustards — and some will take a bit more work to recognize.  A fascinating exploration! \nNOTE: You can use this class towards the Ethnobotany Certificate. \nJoin us for this two hour class presentation\, and the optional social time that follows. \n  \nPresented on Zoom\, Pay on Paypal to Christopher_nyerges@yahoo.com. \nDURING THIS TIME\, WE WILL BE DOING CLASSES ON ZOOM.  PLEASE JOIN US.  To join\, you must email us  (christopher_nyerges@yahoo.com) that you intend to join\, and we will send you a link.  $45 ($25 seniors and students; scholarships available) URL:https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/safe-botanical-families/ CATEGORIES:Ethno-botany END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210326T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210326T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T060154 CREATED:20201226T211749Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210816T015844Z UID:29250-1616785200-1616792400@www.schoolofself-reliance.com SUMMARY:CREATE YOUR OWN TEA and TONIC GARDEN DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 26 \, 7 p.m. \nCREATE YOUR OWN TEA AND TONIC GARDEN —  WITH MOSTLY WILD PLANTS. \nWin a real tea plant! \n \nEveryone would like to have their tea plants nearby\, in the kitchen garden\, available for flavorable beverages and medicinal teas.

We’ll also share the techniques of propagation\, which includes seeds\, cuttings\, and transplants.  Don’t forget\, some of the common wild plants\, if native\, can be purchased at local nurseries. We’ll tell you where.  And everything you know about organic gardening will be relevant to growing wild plants\, since you’re now growing them!  Many of the wild plants are more resilient than cultivated plants\, and they do best when you try to replicate the conditions where they thrive in the wild. \nQuite an adventure.  Join us for the class\, and join the conversation that follows. \nPresented on Zoom\, Pay on Paypal to Christopher_nyerges@yahoo.com. \nDURING THIS TIME\, WE WILL BE DOING CLASSES ON ZOOM.  PLEASE JOIN US.  To join\, you must email us  (christopher_nyerges@yahoo.com) that you intend to join\, and we will send you a link.  $45 ($25 seniors and students; scholarships available) URL:https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/creating-your-own-wild-food-garden/ CATEGORIES:Ethno-botany END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210108T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210108T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T060154 CREATED:20210105T062625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210105T070958Z UID:29673-1610132400-1610139600@www.schoolofself-reliance.com SUMMARY:EAT THE WEEDS to keep Your Health!
