‘F ORAGE W ALKS ’
Join the Homegrown Foragers and
go on a walk once a month for the
next four months. This allows partic-
ipants to learn the plants at their dif-
ferent stages of growth. Jen Nelson
has been studying edible and medici-
nal plants in the area for 20 years.
Nelson believes that wherever you
go you can find something to eat and
likes to share that knowledge with
others.
To find out more about the walks,
