This workshop is designed to orient village builders with wild edibles growing in the Portland area. We will be taking a short plant hike, identifying common weeds and expanding at length on their various uses. We will also cover medicinal preparations for certain plants as well as the ways in which our website can help you change Portland. This will be completely informal and open to everyone.

About URBAN EDIBLES

www.urbanedibles.org

Urban Edibles is collaboration between wild foods foragers in Portland, Oregon. Our belief is that by way of communing edible goods, urban people may develop meaningful connections with their environment and their neighbors. Our hope is to generate discourse around local foods, urban stewardship and DIY methods of harvest.

Over the past year, we’ve established an interactive wild foods map of Portland, Oregon (which may be found at www.urbanedibles.org). We have included fruit and nut trees, vegetables, edible and medicinal herbs, “weeds” and more. We have encouraged foragers, land stewards and other community denizens to contribute to our map as well as an educational resource database for wild foods that appears on our site.
