Edible Plants




The nature centre program we attend never fails to teach and entertain us. Today we focused on edible plants. We took a walking tour of the area stopping to learn about rosehips, wild asparagus, cat tails, sumac, milkweed, cedar and pine trees to name only a few.
The highlight was watching a daring few try a grub from the centre of a burr. A hidden delicasee tried by a friend age 3, followed by her brave mum! The morning ended with a visit by the house corn snake and a picnic lunch.
