This program is part of our year-long Wild Edible Plants series, with each month highlighting a different plant part or type of wild edible. The series emphasizes conservation, respectful harvesting, and building a meaningful connection to the land. Participants will build confidence in understanding when, where, and how wild plants can be used as a sustainable food source.
In this program, we’ll focus on native seeds and grains. You’ve probably heard of lotus pods, samaras, and sunflower seeds, but what about sumpweed and maygrass? These wild plants provided a bounty of food for the indigenous people of Missouri in the past, and they can for us today as well! This program will feature an indoor presentation and a sample recipe tasting.
This program is for ages 8+. Please register EACH person who will be present. We will be both inside and outside, so please dress accordingly.
