What we usually call “weeds” are often native plants that are packed with nutrition and great taste. Craig will take you into the woods, backyards, and parks and show you the critical identifying features of numerous plants and some trees. You will be able to find plants nearly anywhere in the Eastern region of the United States. Various plants thrive in one season or another, so Craig is going to add to this course continually as more plants arrive on the scene. Each plant discussed will also include a favorite recipe for its use.Nature Reliance School  Full WebsiteNRS - Online ClassesNRS - LIVE workshops (Zoom)NRS - Gear for saleNRS - Blogs and PodcastsThe NRS Online Membership is THE best way to get the most up to date content for our followers:  https://bit.ly/NRSONLINE Water Bottle Blowout.  Use code PODCAST to get 25% off.   The NRS Online Membership is THE best way to get the most up to date content for our followers:  https://bit.ly/NRSONLINEThanks for listening!  Follow us at Nature Reliance School.
