Edible Plants - The Real Organic Food

Not from the grocery store. Edible wild plants are everywhere, but identifying them is another matter. Elderberries, Yaupon tea, wild grapes, and wood sorrel are but a few of the treats that grow at the Arboretum. Join us and learn how to find, indentify, and prepare wild foods. Our instructor, Dr. Mark Vorderbruggen, is a research chemist, and also one of the Houston area’s most intrepid explorers. Mark spends every free moment on adventures, including canoeing, hiking, exploring, camping, eating wild things, and sleeping under the stars. His popular blog is Merriwether the Adventurer.
