Exploring Edible Spring: Learn, Walk, Taste with Rabia and Andrew

Celebrate spring with an immersive guided walk led by Rabia Jones and Andrew Wraith, part of the Rushton Farm community. Learn how to identify and responsibly forage seasonal wild plants while exploring their uses for nourishment and healing. Along the way, you’ll deepen your connection to the land and have the opportunity to taste a variety of fresh local plants — some of which may be entirely new to you.
