Edible Native Plants with Russ Cohen

  • Highfield Hall & Gardens 56 Highfield Drive Falmouth, MA, 02540 United States (map)

Join Russ Cohen, author of the book Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, for an engaging presentation, and learn about at least two dozen of the tastiest wild plant species the Upper Cape has to offer. They include species everyone knows well, like Daisies and Dandelions, to species people may have never even heard of, like Calamus and Carrion Flower.

Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with information on edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, as well as guidelines for safe, ethical and environmentally responsible foraging. Russ will accompany his talk with handouts and samples of goodies made with wild foraged ingredients for people to sip and nibble on.
