Kick off our potluck and lecture series with Russ Cohen on October 21st! Bring a dish to share, enjoy good company, and settle in for an engaging presentation.
About the Lecture: Rhode Island is home to countless native plants—but what about the non-native weeds and invasives already thriving here? Join wild edibles expert and author Russ Cohen (Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten) for a lively slide presentation featuring more than two dozen tasty non-native plants found right here in the Ocean State.
From familiar species like daisies and dandelions to the lesser-known Asiatic dayflower, Russ will share tips on identification, edible parts, seasonal availability, preparation methods, and guidelines for safe, responsible foraging.
