Wild Edible Plant Walk March 27, 2011

Ever tasted the leaves of Meadow Beauty? Ever tried the fruit of the pickerelweed? Every season brings a different bounty of wild foods to harvest. In this class, we will delve into the wild tastes of spring. We will experience a number of the edible wildflowers, berries, fruits, shrubs and trees that are common to the Piedmont. We will gather and prepare a small feast from the landscape around us and celebrate the diversity of our local edible plants. Pre-registration is highly recommended for all weekend programs. Please register by the Wednesday prior to the weekend. To register, call (919) 489-0900.

Directions: All weekend programs take place at Leigh Farm Park in Durham except for the Owl Prowls, which take place at Mason Farm Preserve in Chapel Hill.
