- **Event Description**: Discover the edible and medicinal abundance growing all around you.About this EventUrban landscapes are rich with wild foods and healing plants—if you know where to look. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to confidently identify common edible and medicinal weeds, Native plants, and introduced garden species found throughout the West Coast of Canada. We’ll explore how these resilient plants support both human health and urban ecosystems, and how responsible foraging practices can help deepen our relationship with the land. Drawing from the knowledge and practices of Beyond the Garden Gate Botanicals, this workshop empowers you to forage safely, ethically, and sustainably in your own neighbourhood.Topics covered in this workshop:• How to identify common edible and medicinal urban weeds• Key Native and introduced plants found in West Coast neighbourhoods• Safe foraging practices and how to avoid contaminated sites• Understanding plant energetics and traditional uses• Ethical harvesting guidelines and land stewardship principles• Seasonal tips for gathering throughout the yearInstructor BioMegan Edge is a naturalist, herbalist, and passionate urban forager who loves helping people discover the edible and medicinal plants growing right outside their door. For more than 30 years, she has explored the parks, shorelines, and city spaces of the West Coast, learning the stories of the plants that call this region home—both Native species and the many hardy garden volunteers that have taken root here.Through her work with Beyond the Garden Gate Botanicals, Megan teaches approachable, hands-on ways of working with wild plants for food, wellness, and everyday connection. Her joyful curiosity and deep respect for the land create a welcoming learning environment where participants can build confidence in plant identification, ethical harvesting, and using their harvest in simple teas, meals, and remedies.Megan’s teaching weaves together her long background in holistic healing, her love of local ecology, and her belief that nature is one of our greatest sources of resilience. She is committed to honouring traditional plant knowledge, supporting ecological awareness, and empowering people to reconnect with the living landscape around them—one plant at a time.How to Register for this EventThis workshop is happening in person only.

Once inside everything is flat.There is a single-stall gender neutral washroom on site. The washroom is not wheelchair accessible. There is a steep ramp from the wood chip pathway onto the washroom boardwalk, and a 2-inch step up from the washroom boardwalk into the washroom.About the organizationThe Compost Education Centre is located on unceded and occupied Indigenous territories, the land of the Lekwungen people— specifically the Xwsepsum and Songhees Nations. These nations are two of many, made up of individuals who have lived within the porous boundaries of what is considered Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Kwakwa'wakw Territory (Vancouver Island) since time immemorial. At the CEC we seek to respect, honour and continually grow our own understandings of Indigenous rights and history, and to fulfill our responsibilities as settlers, who live and work directly with the land and its complex, vital ecologies and our diverse, evolving communities.Compost Education Centre memberships get you free workshops, discounts at garden centres around town and more great perks!

The CEC’s mission is to encourage composting, local food production, and conservation, through education to residents living within the CRD. Created as a community resource, the CEC’s intent is to lower barriers to building skills that support soil stewardship and ecological sustainability. Two of the ways the CEC meets this goal are through free and affordable workshop series for adults, and a diverse, interactive, science-based educational program for students and their teachers. The CEC is mandated to teach people of all ages how to create a biologically active, organic garden amendment, as well as why composting and soil conservation are crucial practices for mitigating climate change.\r\n "
