Foraging the Wild Weeds

Spring is here and we will take a short city walk to discover the abundance of common plants available almost everywhere. Nettles, plantain, violets, dandelion, burdock, and others are abundant and available to most of us, even in the city. We will discuss good wildcrafting practices, tools to make your gathering easy, and how to work with these wonderful weeds. Take home recipes to begin bringing a little wild back into your kitchen and your life!
