Wild Roots & Other Foods

Description

SOLD OUT

Spring is a good time to dig wild roots. In this 2.5-hour session, we will take a short plant walk to learn wild, feral, and landscaped edible plants growing in a town setting in Fairplay, Colorado. Then we’ll learn a handful of root vegetables (such as salsify, dandelion, creeping bellflower, and wild caraway), get our hands dirty digging, and prepare some roots to sample.
