About this event
She’s fabulous, funny, and a forager — join Alexis Nikole Nelson (@blackforager) for an exploration of some of the surprising edible plants you can find in D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic region. Alexis will share her foraging history and expertise to help get you started on your own found-food journey. A stroll through your neighborhood will feel more like a walk through the farmer’s market after this elucidating program!
