SUMMARY:Plant Sale Walkthrough: Edible Native Plants at Long Branch Farm & Trails
DESCRIPTION:Intended Audience: This program is designed for adults and interested youth ages 12 and up\, when accompanied by an adult. Children must be accompanied by an adult. \nProgram Description: We garden with native plants to benefit wildlife and to beautify our landscape\, but those same plants can also nourish us. We’ll walk through the plant sale looking through the lens of edible and useful species\, cover harvest and processing particulars\, touch on culinary applications\, and try some food samples. \nAbout the Program Guide: A 30+ year veteran of Cincinnati Nature Center (CNC)\, Jason Neumann currently serves as public programs manager\, crafting experiences that immerse visitors in nature and leading interpretive trainings. He works towards translating CNC’s “plant native” initiative into visitor engagement opportunities and has a special interest in connecting people to nature through food. Growing up on a small farm sparked his deep interest in agriculture\, which was fanned to flame through a BS degree in Crop and Soil Sciences (Michigan State University)\, and later a graduate certificate in Agroforestry (University of Missouri – Columbia). Drawing from the perspective of a farmer/naturalist\, he seeks to work with nature\, whether in his suburban backyard operation called Someday Farm\, the CNC Edible Plants and Foraging Group (founded in 2013)\, or managing the native perennial polyculture plots and native 2-acre pawpaw grove at Long Branch Farm & Trails. \nWhat to Expect: We’ll stay in close proximity to the Creekside barn\, venturing into a nearby native edibles plot to harvest elderflowers. \nTrails/areas used during this program are rated as accessible (packed gravel trails\, mild hills) for a planned distance of 0-0.25 mile at a slow pace.\nProgram runs rain or shine.\nRestrooms are available throughout the program.\nWhere to Meet: Registered participants will meet at the Creekside Barn at our Long Branch Farm & Trails location. (6926 Gaynor Rd\, Goshen\, OH 45122) \nCost: Ticket fees include daily admission.
