  • Thursday, April 18, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm Eastern – Native Edibles for Cities, Online

    Whether you’re interested in your health, sustainability, or simple pleasure, growing native edibles is a skill worth cultivating. Native edibles can feed you (and the rest of the ecosystem) regardless of your available space, and can be planted in shady corners, container gardens, and other small spaces. Join Dan Jaffe Wilder online on April 18 at 6 pm Eastern to learn about species of native edibles that can be grown wherever you can find (or put) soil. Native Plant Trust members $17, nonmembers $20. Register at http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/native-edibles-cities/ Image courtesy of Forager Chef.

    Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes. Please visit this page to review this and other FAQs about our policies.

    You don’t have to compromise; you can have plants in your garden that look beautiful, promote pollinators, and are edible. From ramps to fiddleheads and Jerusalem artichoke, our native flora is chock-full of tasty, landscape-worthy plants.
