This free Valley Talk takes place in person at the Valley Green Inn in Philadelphia or online via Zoom and features forager and author Tama Matsuoka Wong. She presents a practical way to see unwanted plants differently by managing them and putting them to use as food, teas, and simple structures, turning what is often removed into something useful. As a self-described failed gardener turned contrarian, she pays attention to what grows naturally and even supplies markets and chefs with pounds of edible invasive plants. She will delve into the ideas behind her book Into the Weeds, exploring how these plants connect to food, the environment, and health, and she will share approachable ways to use common weeds found nearby. Wong describes herself as a forager, weed eater, wild farmer, and meadow doctor. Her books include Foraged Flavor, a 2013 James Beard Award nominee, Scraps, Wilt & Weeds with chef Mads Refslund, which received an IACP Award for Food Matters, and Into the Weeds: How to Garden Like a Forager.
