Full Event Description

Native plants aren’t just for insects; many people find them delicious too! Plants that can nourish both groups provide an additional incentive for us to plant them in our yards and landscapes, benefiting all. Join Russ Cohen, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, for a virtual tour of at least two dozen species of native edible wild plants suitable for adding to your own landscape, or nibbling on as you encounter them in other locales. Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with details about edible portion(s), season(s) of availability, preparation method(s), and propagation.
