Living Off the Land: Foraging & Edible Wild Plants

Spring means the return of innumerable plants emerging from winter dormancy and starting their seasonal journeys of growing, flowering and setting seed. Have you ever wondered how many of them are edible? Join author and historian, Brady Crytzer, for an exploration of the wild plants and herbs used by Native Americans and European settlers in Western Pennsylvania. After an informative lecture, we’ll venture out into the gardens and woodlands of Pittsburgh Botanic Garden in search of wild edible plants.
