Join Alexandra every other Friday 10-1pm to step through the veil of green & explore the medicinal & culinary virtues of the wild and feral plants growing all around us. Class will gather at favorite sites around the East Bay and wander as we get to know these potent and delicious plants that grow from the hills to the ravines and through the neighborhoods in between.

Discussions explore

• plant identification and caution regarding look-alikes
• medicinal properties & medicine making technique
• culinary virtues and recipes to incorporate plants into daily cuisine
• harvesting & processing techniques
• wildcrafting ethics
• folklore and traditional use of plant materials

Tastes of wild fermented foods will be given towards the end of the walk. See Alexandra’s Facebook Page to get an idea of what foods may be sampled.

Walks are open and will inspire plant lovers of all backgrounds and skill levels, from the novice to the professional chef, herbalist, and ecologist.
