Stalking Wild Edibles!
Back by popular demand, local forager Dawn Toutkaldjian joins Dickinson College Farm to impart her wisdom and enthusiasm for foraging wild edibles. This meandering workshop will take place in and amongst the fields at the College Farm. Participants will learn how to identify medicinal and nourishing edibles otherwise mistaken as weeds! The weed walk will feature fiddleheads, stinging nettle, dandelion flowers and much more. Dawn's famous green smoothies will cap off a fun, informative hands-on class. Join us!
Discounted student tickets available. If you are a student, please email farm@dickinson.edu to register.
Dawn is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Herbalist, Yoga Instructor and Body/Energy Work Practitioner. Her love of nature has been blossoming since she was 3 when she began to explore her childhood property and gardened alongside her mother. Dawn has participated in the Master Gardeners Program and studied numerous herbal programs, including Rosemary Gladstar's. She has facilitated a variety of nature programs for ages 3 through adulthood at schools, parks and in her backyard. Dawn especially enjoys sharing the many wonderful aspects of wild edibles and giving others the opportunity to use all their "senses" to discover, explore and be in balance with all the magic that is so abundant in nature.
