Description

We're sorry, but this program is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

This big, beautiful, fragrant flower has wilted, but now the roots are ripe and ready for harvesting. Join us on a lovely fall evening to learn about this native aquatic plant, a historical food of our region. After a brief presentation, the tasting will begin. The roots and perhaps the seeds will be prepared in a variety of dishes for you to try. This will not be a substitute for dinner, but a small sample of each dish will be available for everyone. Please feel free to bring along your own beverage. This is an inclusive program, welcoming individuals of all abilities.

If you have any questions, please call us at 815-722-9470.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
