SUMMARY:Nibbling on Native Plants in Your Back Yard and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Native plants aren’t just for insects\; many people find them 
 delicious too! Plants that can nourish both groups provide an additional 
 incentive for us to plant them in our yards and landscapes\, benefiting 
 all. Join Russ Cohen\, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have 
 Known…and Eaten\, for a virtual tour of at least two dozen species of 
 native edible wild plants suitable for adding to your own landscape\, or 
 nibbling on as you encounter them in other locales.  Keys to the 
 identification of each species will be provided\, along with details about 
 edible portion(s)\, season(s) of availability\, preparation method(s)\, and 
 propagation.\n\nUntil his retirement in June of 2015\, Russ Cohen’s 
 “day job” was serving as the Rivers Advocate for the Massachusetts 
 Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Ecological Restoration. Now 
 Russ has more time to pursue his passion for connecting to nature via his 
 taste buds\, and assisting others in doing the same.  Russ operates a small 
 nursery outside of Boston\, where he grows/keeps hundreds of edible native 
 plants\, and collaborates with a wide variety of landowning organizations 
 (including the Town of Lexington) to plant them in appropriate places on 
 their properties – a modern-day Johnny Appleseed for wild edibles.
