Edible Wild Plants of the Northeast

Join expert John Root for a presentation about “Edible Wild Plants of the Northeast." This is an introduction to the identification and uses of wild plants for food and beverage, and nutritional and medicinal value of our region’s most common and appealing wild plants. Questions and comments are welcome throughout the presentation, and illustrated pamphlets with plant descriptions, guidelines for responsible and safe foraging, and a bibliography for further study will be made available. 

This event is sponsored in part by a grant from the Springfield Cultural Council.
