Join us this week for another foraging episode! This time, we are covering some common plants that are perfect to harvest right now! Learn to identify these wonderful plants, what they are used for, and recipes on how to use them.

*** Disclaimer*** Please consult your physician before using any of these plants internally or for medicinal purposes. Consult an expert to confirm identification of plants before use.

This week's shout out goes to the incredible Homeless Garden Project in Santa Cruz, California! Their model is admirable and could benefit any community. Show they some support at Home - Homeless Garden Project. And be sure to check out the video on their new farm at Home - Pogonip Farm - HGP Campaign (homelessgardenproject.org)
