Some of the results from our Colour Me Local bundle dye workshop in February! Taught by @bea.rethread, this beginners class was thrilled to learn some of the basics of turning compost into colour. Our next public workshop is coming up on May 20th (Victoria Day)! Register through the Renfrew Park Community Centre.

We had so much fun at our first Forager’s Feast! We celebrated the New Shoots of spring with a delicious potluck where each dish contained at least one ingredient grown or ethically foraged by the maker. Leona from Resurfacing History came and talked to us about indigenous plant medicine. It was a beautiful community event featuring nettle, sorrel, bittercress, chickweed, wintercress, and dandelion among many other tasty items. Join the club for our next Feast in June, to celebrate the Summer Solstice! 🌱🍄

New Shoots! Keep your eye out for tasty and abundant Siberian Miner’s Lettuce and come to our Forager’s Feast on March 28th, 5-8pm.

Registration via Eventbrite is mandatory: https://ift.tt/2Yg6LB1

Remember: Before picking anything, make extra sure you know what it is. NEVER pick anything you’re unsure of. To respect the plants and the ecosystem, only take what you need, and never more than one-third of the patch.
