SALAD UNIVERSITY

Expand your awareness of useful plants for your health, more-efficient gardening, making use of edible weeds, creating resilient ecologies, and lowering medical bills. The class will move through the garden to taste, learn about, and gather cultivated and wild plants (annual, biennial and perennial) for a 40-ingredient salad containing flowers, herbs, usual and unusual greens. We will cover some of the medicinal properties. At the end we will share the salad, a blend of what we find along with other ingredients. Learn about favorite seeds and plants to be found at Common Ground. Taught by Bill Taylor and Jaye Moscariello who have operated Floodgate Farm since 2003. He and Jaye offer many classes up and down the Mendocino coast and beyond. Class meets at the Common Ground Garden.
