- **Event Name**: Spring Foraging for Wild Edibles
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Spring offers many tasty opportunities for the growing forager! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging in this introductory class about common wild edibles. Together we will explore the spring landscape in search of fresh greens, shoots, and herbs. The second part of the class will take place in the kitchen, where we will prepare simple dishes with our harvested finds.
 
Please dress for the weather (rain or shine!) and be prepared to walk around a mile. Plants we will probably encounter include garlic mustard, dandelion, common milkweed, and many others. If we’re lucky, we may also find some springtime mushrooms such as morels or aspen oysters. You will leave with a newfound appreciation for the wild edibles that grow all around us plus a greater sense of confidence in foraging your own food.
