About this Event
In this hands-on workshop, forager, food writer and instructor April Thompson will teach you several fun and tasty ways to use one of nature’s under-appreciated winter gifts: evergreen needles. Participants will learn about the health and flavor properties of evergreen needles like spruce, fir, and pine; learn ID and harvesting tips; and then how to create several edible and household goodies from evergreen needles, including infused salt, sugar, vinegar, tea and more. Participants will then make their own body scrub, perfect for a handmade holiday gift or just to help keep the skin glowing in the rough winter months.
