Sunday, September 24, 2017 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Edible Desert: Barrel Cactus Food Prep/Plant Walk

In my kitchen we'll prepare and roast barrel cactus fruits and seeds that I've collected. Then we'll go out to an urban riparian site, wheelchair accessible. 
​  
We'll harvest barrel cactus fruits, and check out the other wild plants on a nearby plant walk like mesquite, palo verde, ironwood, brittlebush, ragweed, and anything else we discover such as turpentine bush, desert lavender, desert tobacco, dried pineapple chamomile (Oncosiphon piluliferum), and the pesky invasive fountain grass.  

I've got some extra aloe vera plants for everyone that attends.
