  • Friday, May 6, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Herbs and Wild Edibles of the Spring Season

    In this Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens workshop on Friday, May 6 from 1 – 3, herbalist Steph Zabel will join us in harvesting and sampling some of the first emerging plants of the season, including dandelions, chickweed, and violets.  These often-overlooked plants are highly nutritive and beneficial for human health.  We’ll focus on the medicinal and culinary uses of these herbs, how to prepare them, and practical ways to incorporate them into your daily life.  There will also be a demonstration on how to make an herbal-infused vinegar.  Please dress appropriately for the weather as we will be outside for part of the class.  Friends $20, non-members $30.  Register at www.wellesley.edu/wcbgfriends, or call 781-283-3094.  Image from www.tastespotting.com.
