Naturalist-in-Residence: Cooking with Weeds - Learn to Make Pesto

Community Room
Saturday, Aug 10, 2024, 10:30am to 11:30am

Did you know that many of the plants we consider “weeds” actually have nutritional and medicinal properties? Plus, they also taste pretty dang good! This workshop will highlight some of the common weeds you can consume and different ways you can prepare them. We will be making a pesto created from edible weeds like Lambs Quarters to show how to incorporate them into some of your kitchen staples. 

Space is limited for this event; registration is required. Registration will open two weeks before the event, on Saturday, July 27.
