Not only are Rocky’s plants diverse and beautiful, but many species were part of the grocery store and pharmacy of earlier peoples and are still used today. We will explore these edible and medicinal species with a focus on their identification, current and historic usage as food and medicine, preparation techniques, ethical harvesting, and conservation. We will also discuss some toxic species to avoid!
