Learn how to identify, gather and cook some of the most common edible weeds and wild foods from your yard, garden and other disturbed areas! This class includes a discussion on which plants are edible, gathering ethics, local rules and regulations, toxic plants and general information about how to cook with weeds.

Instructor Melany Vorass Herrera studied ethnobotany at Evergreen State College and holds a degree in environmental policy. For well over 20 years, her public policy work focused on such subjects as stormwater, hazardous waste, solid waste, environmental cleanup and the Endangered Species Act. She retired to further pursue her love of plants, especially the edible kind, as well as her love of writing. Her new book, The Front Yard Forager, brings DIY harvesting right to your door, making foraging easy, accessible, and fun for everyone even in the middle of the city or suburbia.
