About this event
Wild Edible Food and Medicine Series Have you ever wanted to cultivate confidence in identifying and gathering wild edible and medicinal plants, while also harvesting tasty treats? This workshop invites us into the richness of early summer, a season defined by blooming wildflowers, ripening berries, and a deep sense of abundance on the land. Building on foundational plant identification skills and focusing on flowers, we will learn how to recognize major plant families even when encountering unfamiliar species and develop confidence through careful observation. Through guided exploration participants will engage in practical, hands-on, learning by identifying and harvesting plants in the field and creating one or two plant-based preparations to take home and culinary creations to taste in the workshop. Each creation will be guided by what the land provides. We will identify, gather plants, and create dishes together as a community of foragers excited about eating and crafting with wild edibles. You will leave with -handcrafted seasonal creations Including herbal teas, seasoning salts, or infused honeys guided by the summer season -Having tasted a wide variety of plants and culinary creations made in the workshop -Ideas for delicious and traditional culinary and medicinal uses of summer plants -A better Understanding of plant families and through flower identification
