Seattle workshop creates new crop of foragers
Each season, Mother Nature provides a bounty for those who know how, when, and where to look for it, and the participants in a Seattle walking workshop will learn how to harvest these “wild veggies.”
The University of Washington Botanic Gardens provides the community with an opportunity to learn about and connect with nature, and its Weeds and Wild Foods class will provide an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of foraging, a practice that can save money and be fun to participant in.
Attendees will be paying a visit to Discovery Park, and will meet in the North Parking Lot. They will learn how to identify, harvest, and prepare recipes using the more common species. The ethics of foraging will be discussed, and along with learning which weeds are edible, they will find out which ones should be avoided. The fee to take part is $45 per person, and it will run for three hours.
One of the perks of attending the session is that everyone will go home with a set of cooking and identification tips. Stationery printers can prepare many types of educational materials, which may help the participants make the most of a learning experience.
This opportunity for both new and seasoned foragers to pick up some new skills is scheduled for Saturday, June 21. It will start at 1:00 am, and anyone who has questions about the function can contact urbhort@uw.edu.
