Grow and Gather: Summer Foraging
June 27 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Explore Phoebe Point Trail and learn how to forage with Taliesin Preservation Kitchen Gardener, Abbie Lehman. The class begins with foraging basics at the base of the trail, followed by a moderate 1.1-mile loop to identify common summer wild edibles. Participants will also discuss Frank Lloyd Wright’s connection to the Driftless region and how it inspired a culture of working with and learning within the natural environment.
By the end of the course, you will learn why, where, and how to forage safely and responsibly, along with key identification techniques and common plant families. This event is open to all skill levels and abilities, including those who may not be able to undertake the hike (the first hour of discussion covers all core topics and many expected wild edibles).
Please note: Foraging on Phoebe Point Trail without express permission from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is prohibited. Participants must follow the guides’ instructions to ensure minimal environmental impact.
