The plant world is a banquet waiting to be
discovered. Come join us as we partake in this great feast! With
a caretaker’s attitude, you will learn how to confidently and
safely identify, gather, and prepare wild edible meals. You will
become acquainted with the wild edible plants that thrive around
us while spending a great deal of time in the field identifying
and collecting them. “Survival” and “gourmet” cuisine will be
explored using wild plants. As participants, you will receive
many new recipes to impress your next dinner guest with the
wonderful taste and bountiful nutrition that wild foods provide
us. To round out the program, traditional uses of native plants
will be covered, as well as poisonous look-alike plants. A
highlight of this course is our Saturday evening meal cooked in
a traditional steam pit. Students often retake this course at a
different time of year or location to expand their knowledge of
plant uses.
