Indigenous Metis herbologist, Lori Snyder, is a brilliant teacher and one of my foraging mentors. Her motto is that food IS your medicine. She guides students to harvest honourably, taking only what you need with a focus on regenerative food plants. Swallow Tail is happy to offer you a chance to meet and learn from her this spring or summer on a field trip teaching about edible and medicinal plant foods.
Edible & Medicinal Plant Field Trip: 6pm-7:45pm at Moberly Park in Vancouver, BC, check dates at the booking link below…
One of my favourite lessons with Lori was on the humble, nutrient packed dandelion (video below). Harvest and cook with dandelion leaves in early spring starting now. You can saute or blanch them to reduce their bitterness if you like. They make an excellent sweet tart marmalade. Here’s the recipe!
