Nature Awareness Series!
 

Free for everyone! |

Tuesday | 8 –8:30 pm | Jan 26 | The "Truth" About Weeds

Hosted by Kirsten Cook


The purpose of this workshop is to give participants a better idea of what weeds are and why we call them that. We will also expand up on the idea that "weed" is a social construct that many cultures, especially indigenous ones, don't have a word for. Then we will discuss the positives and negatives of common weeds, and if we have time, I'll tell you which ones are edible!
