Join us at the Oxbow NPN to explore the edible and medicinal plants native to our region. We’ll cover how identify, grow, harvest, and utilize 10 local edible and/or medicinal plants. Participants will have the opportunity to sample edible plants from Oxbow’s NPN as well as receive a garden consultation at the Farm Stand following the event.
