This class will take you out to learn how to harvest the bounty of the land. Wild edibles are abundant in many locations yet many people around the world live in hunger simply because they have a lack of knowledge about the plants around them.

Students will have the opportunity to taste the plants we cover so that they know and appreciate the wonderful flavors.
