Edible Plant Series 

Sundays, June 14, August 9, September 20, 2pm - 4pm 

Ever wondered if you could eat that? This is your chance to find out! Join local herbalist and avid forager, Alex Klein, for a series of walks to learn about foraging for and eating wild food. Classes will focus on botanical identification, ethical harvest practices, and safety concerns around eating plants from wild and not-so-wild spaces. We'll also talk about processing wild plant material and turning it into gourmet food. If we're lucky, we might even get a snack while we're out there!

Alex Klein, intermediary between plants and people. I am an herbalist, an arborist and botanist, and an avid forager of wild food and medicine. In my practice as an herbalist, I work with folks on a wide range of conditions, both chronic and acute, using almost entirely plants I have gathered or grown myself. I have botanized up and down the East coast, getting to know intimately the flora of our region and beyond. I also love to teach about all subjects plant-related, whether it be herbal medicine, botany and ecology, tree ID, or processing hickory nuts or maple syrup. Core to my work is being able to connect people to the natural world in a tangible and tantalizing way, one that allows people to more deeply appreciate the value of what's growing around them and to feel more connected to the natural world.

Sliding Scale $60, $75 or $90 for the 3 sessions.
