Trails-to-Tasting Autumn Series During my Trail-to-Tasting mini-series, learn more about foraging for wild edibles that can be found all over – from your own small, urban garden, to roadsides, to natural hiking trails! We’ll learn about foraging etiquette, how plant and wildlife (especially pollinators) are interconnected, and how to create unique, handcrafted cocktails – Just in time to celebrate the harvest season! Each week, you will receive an exclusive video tutorial sent right to your inbox, walking you through the identification of the session’s plant foraged, and then the step-by-step instruction for how to create your specialty cocktail. If you have missed a session, don’t worry! Links to past episodes are included in each week’s session.
