Sky Meadows Foraging Classes
Sky Meadows Foraging Classes
There’s wild food all around us, and in these courses – we’ll open your eyes to the vast number of edible and useful plants in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Many plants to enjoy!
Seasonal Wild Edible Plant Classes
In just one day, you’ll learn to identify roughly three dozen wild plants. Learn which ones are good to eat, how they can be used, and which plants to avoid. Our Sky Meadows class is active and far roaming, as we’ll hike about 4 miles of the park during our full-day course. Learn to identify the edibles of each season - fruits, berries, leaves, roots and so much more. You’ll even receive a foraging booklet that we produce for each class, yours as a take-home reminder of all the plants you experienced in your course.
