Join us for a hands-on workshop on identifying, harvesting, and using common edible and medicinal garden weeds
Join farmers at Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm for a hands-on workshop exploring the surprising value of common garden “weeds”! This interactive session will introduce you to the wild edible and medicinal plants growing right under your feet — often overlooked and underappreciated in the garden. You’ll learn how to identify, harvest, and safely use these resilient plants for food, teas, and simple home remedies. From dandelions and plantain to chickweed and chicory, we’ll uncover the hidden health benefits and rich cultural histories of these backyard botanicals.
What you’ll gain:
- Practical ID skills for common edible/medicinal weeds
- Tips on ethical harvesting and safe preparation
- Simple recipes for teas, tinctures, and nutrient-packed dishes
- A deeper appreciation for the abundance of natural medicine in urban spaces
Whether you’re a gardener, herbal enthusiast, or just curious about urban foraging, this workshop will empower you to see your garden with new eyes and find uses for the underappreciated plants growing all around us!
