Watercress at the Guelph Arbouretum.

Over the weekend I did a workshop on wild edible through Humber College with instructor David Armana. it was very interesting to see some of the plants confirmed by someone who is far more experienced than I. Having read the Petersen’s Field Guide to Edible Plants of North America for a couple of years and seeking out some of the obvious ones I can eat I still felt a bit uneasy. I really wanted to have someone show me which was which that had real-life experience. David has been doing bush-craft for thirty years so I felt quite confident what he was teaching. Much of what was taught I had read and memorized but I still wanted the peace of mind of being shown.

I will now be passing it  on in the near future at Mountsberg Conservation area during the Through the Eyes of the Artist in August.
