Mary O’Brien and Karen Vail will be joining the Bookworm to speak to first-time foragers and advanced harvesters. Living in a bountiful valley, we have access to over 130 native and non-native plants – for edible and medicinal purposes. Learn where to look, how to forage and the opportunities for a range of foragers. Edible and Medicinal Plants of the Southern Rockies, includes: tips for harvesting and preparing foods and medicines, historical indigenous plant uses, gardening tips, recipes and stories, and a complete section on poisonous plants. Come ask questions and get excited for the foraging season!
