Your Edible Landscape

Hunting for wild edible plants doesn’t have to mean hiking in exotic locations far from home; many delicious and nutritious wild foods grow in your own backyard. Disguised as attractive landscaped trees, planted for beautiful blooms, or removed as common nuisance weeds, your edible landscape holds many surprising food sources. Join The 3 Foragers as they teach the fruits, nuts, flowers, and greens found right outside your back door.

The 3 Foragers are from southeast Connecticut and officers of Connecticut Valley Mycological Society, as well as avid wild food foragers. The 3 Foragers have been studying, photographing, and eating wild foods since 2005. Their blog, Facebook page, and book all focus on family-friendly, environmentally sustainable harvest of both our native and invasive species of plants, and ways to incorporate these foods into your diet with original recipes.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this event is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. Registration is required. This program is sponsored by the Charles H. and Ella Emery Rutledge Fund.
