Foraging in Oakland: Herb and Mushroom Talk & Tea Tasting, Vol 2

​What grows around us? Join Cindy (@cindydoedee) for a short presentation on common, local herbs & mushrooms we find growing wild in the Bay Area. From edible to medicinal to poisonous and deadly, our Bay Area abundance is hard to match. We’ll have a short discussion about the ethics and policies around foraging. Cindy will bring in a collection of foraged goodies to share. Enjoy a sampling of foraged fresh and dried herbs during and after the talk! 

​Make sure to bring your own mug or cup to reduce waste of single-use cups.

​*Tickets for this event are $22 or pay-what-you-can/NOTAFLOF
