These edible wild plant workshops are various workshops that build on our connection to nature. Whether for coffee, tea, or soups, or nutrition and medicine, the wild weeds and native species have provided for us for centuries. It is we who have forgotten how to use them. Re-claim these skills and you can re-wild your garden by bring nature, back to the kitchen! Let nature be our teacher once again.
The Dandelion - Coffee, tea, and food treats are just a few of the many uses of Dandelions. This workshop will focus on the coffee; however, we will make a few treats as well for everyone to sample! You'll be surprised as to the tasty ways you can cook dandelion!
