April 20, 11:00 am at the Milford Public Library, 57 New Haven Ave, Milford, CT. This FREE presentation will cover Your Edible Landscape: Hunting for wild edible plants doesn’t have to mean hiking in exotic locations far from home; many delicious and nutritious wild foods grow in your own backyard. Disguised as attractive landscaped trees, planted for beautiful blooms, or removed as common nuisance weeds, your edible landscape holds many surprising food sources. Join The 3 Foragers as they teach the fruits, nuts, flowers, and greens found right outside your back door.
April 23, 6:30 pm at the Windsor Public Library, 323 Broad St, Windsor, CT.

Learn how to identify, sustainably harvest, and prepare the wild foods of spring, from invasive bamboo shoots to the lemony tang of fresh wood sorrel, including some of the early edible fungi of the season. Join The 3 Foragers as they discuss the edible plants and fungi of spring, with their original photos and recipe ideas featured in an educational slideshow.

The two hour class begins with an educational handout, a quick overview of safe and responsible foraging practices, and suggestions for resources. We will follow the trail and point out how to identify any edible plants we encounter, with suggestions for preparation and possible preservation. Sustainable harvesting practices will be discussed. The trail distance will be less than a mile with a few roots and a medium climb among the trees, along with an area of open grassland, so please wear appropriate footwear and tick repellant; a walking stick may be helpful. Plan on taking notes and plenty of photos! We will not be collecting on this walk, but using this outdoor space as a hands-on classroom.
Please register by sending the names of participants to the3foragers@gmail.com or call 860-639-9385
Class size will be limited and the details of the location and parking will be provided a day before the walk so we can keep an eye on the weather.
