Description

Wild nutritious foods and medicinal tea plants thrive around us in forests, fields, and even backyards. In this workshop, educators learn to teach two lessons. The first explores native food principles including eating whole, wild, seasonal, and sustainably harvested foods. Games compare nutrition content of wild foods with refined foods. The second is based on the Native Infusion: Rethink Your Drink curriculum with common tea plants including dandelion, hawthorn, huckleberry, nettle, and rose. Stories, games, recipes, and teaching techniques encourage healthy eating, physical fitness, and connection to culture and the land. Participants will make and sample delicious snacks and teas. Taught by members of the Tend, Gather and Grow team.

 

We are offering a sliding scale for this workshop. Pay what you can: $100 or $125 - proceeds will cover supply costs and support GRuB programs.

Registration closes October 13, 2022.

Limit 15 participants.
