Things you think are weeds are edible, nutritious and delicious!

Along the walk, Jill will point out various plants and how they can be used for food. You can pick some for your use. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for foraging and cooking with these surprising plants is matched by her kitchen skills. After the walk, folks will gather for some tasty treats prepared by Jill for the event, including a soup, a salad and quiche made with foraged ingredients.  Please be prepared to walk on uneven ground and to be in nature, including an outdoor composting toilet and a dry sink.
