Wild, edible burdock
The hooked, sticky flower heads are said to inspire the invention of velcro, but this wild plant is edible and very tasty.

I make a wild braised burdock recipe for our wild mushroom trips and guests have been asking me for the recipe.  Here it is on our blog.

Our Fall Wild Mushroom tours focus on how to identify wild mushrooms like porcini, chanterelle, honey, wild oysters and dozens more edibles that you will never find in the grocery store! Our ever-popular forays are 2-hour trips walking through BC’s forest to identify whatever we find with an expert wildcraft guide.  They book up fast!
Enjoy a chef-prepared wild light lunch with tips and tricks on how best to cook and preserve all the dozens of different wild edibles in the forests. (note: this is not a live cooking demo or a harvesting trip)

Dates: Sunday's from Sept 17 to mid November

Times and 12:30pm tours
