Too many weeds in your yard? How about eating them! That’s what foragers do. It’s surprising how many plants, including those we call weeds, are edible. Forager Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen will present “Edible Weeds” at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26 at Huntsville Public Library. Vorderbruggen, a petroleum chemist, author, and educator of all things in the foraging world, has the experience and knowledge to provide the dos and don'ts of foraging.
