Wonderful Weeds with Rebecca Gilbert

Native Earth Teaching Farm, 94 N Rd, Chilmark, MA 02535
12-3 pm

Weeds have long been considered enemies of a manicured, quintessential suburban lawn. But the Vineyard Lawn welcomes weeds of all kinds, and for many different reasons. They attract pollinators, act as natural aerators, and boost biodiversity. Plus, as Rebecca Gilbert of Native Earth Teaching Farm and author of “Weedy Wisdom for the Curious Forager” lauds, you can eat some of them! Bring your family to the farm for an afternoon of fun and outdoor education.
