CLASS DETAILS: The family or individuals will work together in identifying wild edible plants. You will receive a workbook including pictures of plants with recipes. This book is b/w, but has colored stickers to match up to each plant. Your family will also receive a notebook of additional pictures of plants which are common plants I have grown up with. These pictures will be in sleeves and will be in color. Also with your two notebooks you will receive a pen and notepad to take notes. We will walk on my property, on the sides of the road (there is little traffic), and in a nearby field. I will help you identify plants and then you will try to find more on your own. There will be a coloring contest for the children to color a wild edible plant to place in the sleeve on the front of their families three-ring binder. All children will be winners and one special trait from each picture will be identified as a winner and receive a small gift.
LOCATION: Our property is less than a quarter of an acre, but our yard is connected to a large wooded area so we have made arrangements for parking where we will be exploring a field for wild edibles. Meet at Swanzey Community House, 18 Old Richmond Rd., E. Swanzey, NH. Our house address is 202 South Rd, E.Swanzey. Cell: 603-852-3710 if you need help finding us.
