Forest Feast Edible Plant Class

Ever wondered which wild plants around Vero Beach you can actually eat? Indian River County Parks and Recreation is hosting a free seasonal class called Forest Feast, held at Jones' Pier Conservation Area on Jungle Trail.

County staff will walk you through the many kinds of edible plants that grow here, and how you can work them into your own yard and landscaping. If you are feeling brave, you can also taste some prepared foraged foods. It is a good fit for gardeners, curious cooks, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to look at the local scrub and hammock with new eyes.

The class is Thursday, November 19, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. That is a nice time to be out at Jones' Pier as the day cools off and the light gets soft over the lagoon side of the island.

Where: Jones' Pier Conservation Area, 7770 Jungle Trail, Vero Beach. Cost: free. The county links this class to its online recreation catalog, so check that listing for any sign-up details before you head out.
