This sounds like an amazing event happening at the Caravan Farm Theatre. Join us for A Taste of the Wild, Saturday October 5, from 10:00 am till noon to learn about wild edible plants from local author Mikaela Cannon (author of BC bestseller “Foraging as a Way of Life”). Learn to identify common wild edibles and sample treats from the wild. Mikaela has been teaching classes on sustainable foraging and outdoor skills in the Okanagan for a decade. She loves sharing her passion for nature and how to protect it. The band “Treebirds and the Leaflings” will share some live music to go with your wild tea and treats. For more information about Mikaela’s work see www.forestfables.ca ![]()
