About This Event

Urban foraging is gaining popularity across metropolitan areas. Learn how to do it safely and sustainably with Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging. Plants we will probably encounter include gooseberry, mulberry, burdock, plantain, and many others! We will discuss identification, harvest, and preparation of each plant. Please note that we won’t be harvesting anything, but we will have lots to look at and learn!

Presented by Maria W. of Four Season Foraging in partnership with the Minnesota Rovers.
