GARDENING AND RECIPES WITH CACTUS AND PURSLANE.

# Led by Urban Gardener Julie Balaa!

Sunday, July 13, 4 p.m.:
Our focus is on the amazing plants that help us become and stay healthy.
Special “medicinal” plants grow so well, and abundantly in the summer season. Julie will explain why purslane and cactus are so valuable to health. She’ll introduce you to the many ingenious and simple enough culinary uses of these warm weather plants, then, after this you’ll remember them when making everyday food choices.
Learn how to cultivate and care for prickly pear cactus and purslane. Each participant will pot their own cactus pad to take home.
Prepare a salad and cook together using both purslane and cactus. Already potted cactus and purslane (and herbs, vegetables, and other plants) are also available for sale.
