Urban Foraging 101

Curious about wild edibles, but not sure where to start? Come to Urban Foraging 101!

We will take you on a fun and enlightening two-hour plant walk through the Alberta neighborhood that will change your perception of Portland's landscape. Random foliage will become tea, coffee, stir fry and salad greens -- and medicine -- as we walk through the city and identify common weeds, wild plants and some garden ornamentals. We will discuss their nutritional and medicinal benefits, how they were historically used, how to harvest them, and what to do with them. We will also sample a legal smoking mixture made from wild urban plants and talk about the relationship between plants and human consciousness. The experience is designed for newbies.
