Learn about the edible plants in our wild food teaching, research, and demonstration gardens. See a great diversity of both native and non-native edibles all in the same place. Many sustainably return year after year. The land is managed and designed to provide a diversity of herbs, shrubs, vines, annuals, biennials and perennials that we can learn from. We’ll identify plants, discuss edibility, sample those in season, and how to bring all these foods right to your own yard.
Meet at 422 SE 49th Ave, Portland OR 97215.

Sliding Scale Economics
Due to hard economic times for some, sliding scales are offered to support individual financial circumstances. We ask participants to pay what they feel they can afford within the range offered for each workshop. You decide what to pay using an honest assessment of your individual circumstances. We do not ask anyone to explain their very personal decision. The high end is a very reasonable price for these quality workshops for those who are doing well in this economy. Groups must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates.
Discounts
$5 Discounts are available on our Registration Form for adult family members that attend together, persons identifying as indigenous, full time college students and scout leaders. Children (17 and under) must be accompanied by their parent(s). Children under 7 are free. Children 7 and above pay their age. Classrooms and teachers with students are not eligible for these discounts and must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates.
Refund & Transfer Policies

If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for, you forfeit the full amount paid.
