Wild Edible & Medicinal Plants

The Wild Gourmet

Imagine being able to throw a dinner party mostly of foods you gathered: steamed wapato, chestnut-mint soup, cranberry sauce, persimmon acorn cobbler and sautéed wild mushrooms. Wild edible and medicinal plants have been both staple and gourmet foods in many cultures. While harvesting wild plants you learn to eat locally and live with the seasons.

Heal Thyself

Many plants are known for their medicinal quality though care must be taken not to compare them to modern medicine. Herbal or natural healing does not simply treat symptoms. It involves looking at the whole body and the nutrition wild plants can offer.

Knowing "that" Nettle

Knowing how to identify a species is extremely valuable, especially when avoiding toxic look alikes. Its even more valuable to watch and learn from individual plants as they grow. Really investing your study into cycle of life fundamentally changes how we see the world.
