The abundance of rain in December and January is leading to a cornucopia of plant life as we head into spring. Sadly, a lot of the green we see in our hills are invasive plants, not originally from this area, that outcompete native plants and the thousands of insect and bird species they support. However, many of those invasive plants also happen to be edible! So by eating them we will help the native ecosystem compete with them just a little extra, while also making a delicious salad from Mother Earth. In this workshop we will learn about both the native and invasive plants growing throughout Elysian Park, learn to identify those that are edible, gather various invasive plants along the way, and at the end put them all together to enjoy a wild, foraged, hyper-locally-sourced salad.
