You will be amazed to discover how many native plants and "weeds" can be incorporated into your culinary adventures! Whether you are new to local foraging or a seasoned pro, there is always more to learn. Summer edibles will include butterfly weed and cattails, garlic mustard, dock, and much more. Hosted with Prairiewood Retreat & Preserve, this class will meet on-site at Prairiewood's Blue Sage Barn. Formal instruction from Terry Olson, Sue Maes, and Kelly Yarbrough will be followed by a plant identification walk on Prairiewood's trails, and several edible snacks to enjoy. Come prepared for some easy prairie hiking with long pants, closed toed shoes, bug spray and water.

Upon retirement as owner of Westside and Eastside markets Terry has endeavored to learn all of the local wild plants along with numerous recipes to accompany. Sue has taught this class on and off for over 40 years and learns each and every day. Kelly is a local prairie enthusiast who has assisted Terry and Sue with this class for the past several years.
