The Edible and Medicinal Plants course will get you out in the fields and teach you how to harvest the bounty of the land. Wild edibles are so abundant in so many locations, and many people around the world live in hunger simply because they have a lack of knowledge about the plants around them. Our instructors will cover the 50 most common plants in our area and North America. The Edible and Medicinal Plants course is a very hands-on oriented course that will take us on walks in several different types of ecosystems so that you are prepared to find food in almost any environment. Students will have the opportunity to taste the plants we harvest in order to know and understand the wonderful flavors involved in wild crafting! Not only will we cover the edible uses, but also the medicinal, utilitarian, and various bushcraft uses of wild plants.
