​Fall is here and the garden is bursting with edible treasures! Let’s find the roots, nuts and berries that can add local flavor and nourishment to our winter feasts. During this foraging tour, you'll learn to identify edible plants in the landscape, their uses and benefits, and the history of their relationships to humans.

Come prepared to sample! You may also bring a bag or basket to gather a few of your favorite edible plants to take home. You'll leave with a new perspective on the common plants around you as well as insight on native plants and our relationship with them.

You do not have to have your own yard to benefit from this class, as responsible urban foraging can be done anywhere . Even people with some foraging experience may learn something new in this class. To get the most out of it, you must be interested in native plants and their history. Children who are old enough to walk around for an hour are welcome.

Dress for the weather; class is rain or shine. Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and if you're a note taker, bring a pocket notebook!
