# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Early Summer Forage
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Summer’s wild bounty is waiting to be discovered—yummy greens, tender flowers, and perhaps a surprise berry.

Through playful activities, we’ll seek out seasonal edible plants, learn their uses, and gather a few to take home. As we explore, we’ll discuss ethical foraging, the principles of the Honorable Harvest, and how foraging can deepen our connection to both the land and ourselves.

While enjoying your forage, you'll slow down, become more present, and rekindle an ancient relationship with nature. Whether you’re here for knowledge, nourishment, or a moment of peace in the woods, you are welcome just as you are.

Please contact us before class if mobility accommodations may be needed.
