Foraging for food has never been more popular, and come spring, stinging nettles are among the first edible plants to burst from the ground in the Pacific Northwest. Join Cedana in learning how to create nettle products so you can enjoy the benefits of this healthy-giving wild plant all year round.

This one day course will give you experience in foraging, preserving and using nettles. You will practice your nettle gathering and harvesting skills in a walk in Galiano’s wild places, then we will return for some nettle tea. Cedana will discuss the different methods of preserving nettles for use later in the year, the use of nettle seeds, as well as how we can transform nettles into a variety of products to use. She will teach you how to blend a nettle tea and nettle gomasio, and bottle nettle vinegar.

We will enjoy a delicious lunch together, based around wild local ingredients including nettles. Each workshop participant will also get to take home their own bag of nettle tea, nettle gomasio, and a bottle of nettle vinegar. Please bring: gloves, kitchen scissors, and a collecting bag (a cloth grocery bag works fine). All other supplies are included in the price.
