---------------------------
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.
Students attend for free, with transportation provided. If you are a student, please email garden@dickinson.edu to register.
---------------------------
Each Sustainability Series Workshop will start at 2:00pm at the Dickinson College Farm, located at 553 Park Drive, Boiling Springs, PA 17007. The two-hour workshops offer homesteaders of all skill levels tips and strategies to maximize production and enjoyment from home and community food production.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes; bring water, a journal and a camera if you'd like.
