Learn to identify the edible plants that surround us. Led by Mark Suter of Primitive Texas, the class will consist of wild plant identification walks through the natural habitats at LLELA. Emphasis will be placed on physical plant characteristics, edible plant parts, proper plant preparation, and available season of harvest. Some poisonous wild plants will also be covered, since these often grow right with the edible ones. Come join us as we explore the world of edible wild plants, and expand your diet to include these nutritious wild resources!
The speaker is Denis Benjamin MD, practicing pediatric pathologist. He is speaking on fungi and mushrooms. He has involvement with numerous mycological and toxicology associations. Info: Bob Ressl at 817-706-6677.

For June, we're heading back to Craft and Growler in Exposition Park (near Fair Park in Dallas). We had a great time during our last visit here - looking forward to another! Craft and Growler is next door to Pizza Lounge, so you can order vegan pizza for delivery, and I heard they just added a new pizza called "The Veganator"
Bring your growler and fill up with one of C&G's 42 taps including local beers, ciders, & root beer!
