About This Event

You don’t need to trek into the wilderness to harvest wild edibles—there are options right here in the city! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging to explore the urban environment in search of wild foods.

The class will focus on easy-to-identify seasonal fruit and nuts, starting right on ASI’s campus. Participants will also discuss other wild edibles found along the way and the cultural heritage of foraging in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. A similar workshop takes place in August with a focus on other seasonal plants.

Students should wear clothing appropriate for the weather (rain or shine!) and be prepared to walk about 10–12 city blocks. In the case of storms, the class will run mostly inside as a lecture. Suitable for ages 18+, or 11–17 with an adult.
