Foraging for dinner in nature

[Jane]

Knowing what you can or can't eat in the wild could be a great thing to know too!
John's classes are fun, educational, and yes - a new experience to nosh weeds, cattails, flower roots, and more. Sometimes his classes are in the woods, the coast, the neighborhoods, or the classroom... His season is winding down but this looks like an interesting class offered Sunday:
