Have you ever found yourself wondering about the plants growing in your yard, your favorite park, or that untended corner behind the mailbox? Wanted to try foraging, but felt a little overwhelmed or unsure where to begin?

This class is for the curious, the cautious, and the ones who feel quietly compelled to eat leaves off the ground (you know who you are)!

In this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll explore how to safely and ethically forage edible plants in your neighborhood. We’ll look at the history of foraging, its relevance today, and how it can be used as a tool for both nourishment and ecological repair. Along the way, we’ll explore how humans fit into our ecosystems—not as outsiders or disruptors, but as participants with the power to contribute to balance and regeneration.

We’ll cover:

• The basics of plant ID and safety

• The difference between native, non-native, and invasive plants

• How foraging can support ecological balance

• Practices for harvesting with reciprocity and care

• Edible plants to look for throughout the seasons

We’ll also take a guided walk to meet the plants and practices we’ve discussed in real life. You’ll leave with a seasonal handout, useful skills, and a fresh lens on the world around you.

Come with questions, leave with more knowledge of your local snacks and a deeper connection to the land under your feet.
