Interested in local food that's more local than your cultivated salad bed in your garden? Ready to go wild with weeds? Join longtime locavore, urban forager and backyard herbalist, Lisa Rose Starner, for an introduction to foraging ethics and to learn early spring edibles. The focus will be on the identification and traditional uses of native and invasive plants for food and folk medicine. Tips on harvesting, cooking and making herbal preparations will be shared.
