From seeds to leaves and stems to fruits, attendees will have the opportunity to learn what is edible and what is not during the Edible Wild Plants workshop on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
During this hands-on immersion workshop for foragers and foodies, participants will join instructor Zach Mermel of Ola Design Group to interact first-hand with many of these under-appreciated edibles.
The outing will take place at nearby Kipuka Pua‘ulu (aka Bird Park) in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
This is discovery only—no picking.
