NEW LOCATION – Evening Briefing: “Eat the Weeds” Backyard Foraging

April 13, 2023 at 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Kemmerer Library

This program is FREE!

PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LOCATION
Kemmerer Library, 19 Blue Mill Rd, New Vernon, NJ

 

Instead of weeding your yard, forage! Come learn about the benefits of foraging for edible invasive (non-native) species like garlic mustard. Garlic mustard is one of the worst invaders of Northeast and Midwest American forests, reducing the diversity of all species. April through end of May is garlic mustard season so you will be able to easily find it to make your own pesto. Come learn about these and other types of plants where we can reduce their presence simply by eating them outright or adding them to a salad! You will receive instruction on how to identify, prepare, and preserve these free greens so you can safely hunt for these delicious invasives while cleaning up your yard! Foraged and homemade treats will be provided.

This program is offered in partnership with GSWA and the Kemmerer Library of Harding Twp. We are able to offer this program to the public at no cost thanks to the generous underwriting from Kemmerer Library.
