Culinary Botany
Have you ever wondered which plant tea leaves come from or what a chocolate bean looks like, or what edible plant could be growing right now in your backyard? One way to reconnect with our food is to learn more about the plants we eat & drink including the area they are native to, their history in cultivation, and what parts of the plant are used.

We will focus on the more unusual plants we can either grow here or find at a local farmer’s market, nursery, or one of the many ethnic markets that make the Bay Area such a diverse place to shop.
