The acorn has been an important staple for aboriginal people across North America for thousands of years. The people of each region had their preferred species and methods of collecting, storing, and processing this fruit of the oak tree. In this New England Wild Flower Society class on Saturday, October 10 from noon – 4 at Garden in the Woods, you will learn primitive and contemporary methods for gathering and preparing acorns. At the end of class, we will enjoy fresh-cooked acorn-flour pancakes with instructor Arthur Haines. $53 for NEWFS members, $64 for nonmembers.
