About this event

Did you know that there exist approximately 75,000 edible plant species in the world? But only 30 species produce 95% of the food we eat! This means that the vast majority of edible plants are drastically underutilized. And a surprising number of these species live right in your own backyard—even in urban environments! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging to learn some foraging basics and discover common wild edible plants.

This event is being held at Como Park Picnic Area northwest of Estabrook Drive & Midway Parkway in Saint Paul.

After the meeting we will socialize at Gabe's by the Park.
