Winter Evergreen Foraging
Description: Did you know that many of the evergreens that inhabit our landscape have edible and medicinal properties? Learn how to safely forage them in this month’s presentation by Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging. Together, we will go over identification, harvesting, and preparation of edible evergreens while avoiding toxic varieties. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.
