Welcome to the Gift of Wild Edible Plants<\/strong>
\nI like to start with questions so here are some that I use for class often.
\nWhy do you want to learn about edible wild plants?
\nHow many do you already use?
\nWhere do you find them?
\nCan you eat them raw?
\nWhat are they good for?
\nCan you grow them?
\nCan you start them from seed, root, or bulb?
\nDo they transplant?<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at a number of my favorite wild edibles then, we can try to answer some of these.
\nWe are going to do this alphabetically to a degree with an ephasis on those edibles readily available in the Northwest of the United States. I am going to throw in a few that I grow in the house because I can’t collect them outside or grow them here.<\/p>\n

Alluim Family wild chives, garlic, onion, leeks.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Aloe Vera <\/strong>
\nAloe Vera grows wild in Hawaii but not the northwest, so I grow it inside. This is true for a number of edible wilds if we wish to grow them in places they are not native to. Aloe Vera is one of many that have learned to grow rather well in the homes, green houses, and sun rooms.
