This workshop is for folks who want to go deeper with wild edible & medicinal plants. Explore the diverse plant life at Chestnut Ridge with Community Herbalist Sarah Sorci. We’ll get acquainted with WNY plants that prefer sunny lawns, water’s edge, shady woodlands, and the spaces in between.
You’ll also sample a few of her favorite dishes and preparations made with nutritious wild greens! You’ll receive recipe sheets to take home.
You’ll leave feeling comfortable identifying a range of useful plants. You’ll know whether there are poisonous look-alikes to watch out for in our region. We’ll discuss environmental contamination considerations when harvesting wild plants, such as pesticide application and lead in soils near older buildings. Sustainable harvesting considerations will also be addressed.
$48 for adults. Register here.
Your kids come free!
