What to Expect
We will be spending significant time outside regardless of the weather. We encourage you to be prepared for all types of weather and bring several layers so that you can be comfortable throughout the class.
In this class participants will start to develop a relationship with local plants especially by eating them! Students will learn about plant identification, how to ethically harvest, safe harvesting and how to avoid poisonous plants, how to create a wild lunch, how to process and store edible plants, and more.
As this program is about unplugging, we ask you to turn off your electronic devices in class.
