About the event

Eat the Weeds!
Step off the beaten path into a world of wild wonders while sipping, snacking, and reconnecting with nature’s misunderstood gifts.

About this Event


Explore Oxbow’s vibrant forest trails and farm fields as you reimagine weeds—not as nuisances, but as nourishment.

In this immersive workshop, facilitated by Rosa Vissers of Hildegard Ferments & Botanicals, you’ll learn to see so-called “weeds” in a whole new light—as healers, snacks, and allies in your garden. Walk, forage, taste, and brew tea from plants you once overlooked. Perfect for nature lovers, gardeners, and curious folks, this experience invites you to reconnect with the land and rediscover what’s been growing around you all along.

You'll Experience:
  • Fresh Perspectives – Rethink what makes a plant a “W**d” by exploring how context shapes our understanding of the natural world.
  • Foraging & Identification Practice – Learn to confidently identify edible and medicinal weeds, and understand when and how to harvest them responsibly.
  • Hands-On Harvesting – Walk, gather, and prepare wild plants during an interactive exploration through Oxbow’s fields and forests.
  • Herbal & Medicinal Wisdom – Discuss the healing properties of common wild plants and how they’ve been used for wellness across cultures.
  • Ecological Insight – Discover how these resilient plants can enhance your garden’s health, support biodiversity, and play vital roles in local ecosystems.
  • Outdoor Learning – Step beyond pages, screens, and walls into a living landscape where taste, scent, touch, and story guide your learning.
