About This Event
From spruce tips to black walnuts and wild plums to basswood leaves, trees offer incredible sources of food for urban foragers! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging to learn tips on identifying tasty trees that probably grow right in your neighborhood. We will also discuss harvesting and preparation methods, including timing your harvests to the seasonal calendar. Please note that we won’t be picking wild edibles during class, but there will be a variety of tree species to look at and learn from.
The exact location for this event will be sent to you in an email. It will be in the city of Minneapolis.
Accessibility: This event will be held on a mix of even and hilly ground with short grass, as well as on sidewalk. Total distance traveled will be around a half mile.
