Sting Nettles: Food and Medicine

Stinging nettles are a rich and accessible source of minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Musqueam educator Kymberlee Stogan will share a wealth of information about nettles’ wide range of uses, including when and how to plant seeds, making nettle and mint tea, and using nettle as a salve.

Seen as an invasive weed to many newbie gardeners, this hands-on workshop will teach you how to identify, harvest, and prepare stinging nettle for various culinary and medicinal purposes. 

Participants will sample nettle tea and take home a nettle salve.
