Saturday, May 28th, 2016
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Join Katherine Harding of The WildFoods Experience for an outdoor workshop that will teach you a whole new appreciation for the weeds in your garden. We will discuss identification techniques, edibility, common medicinal uses and how to use weeds as soil condition indicators. Wander around the Compost Education Centre gardens and neighbourhood to examine weeds growing under a variety of conditions and learn to decipher what they are trying to tell us.
