Learn about "Edible Wild Plants" during luncheon on Jan. 22

The Transition Center of Schoolcraft College will host Jim and Theresa Magyari who have studied under Botanist Ellen Weatherbee at the University of Michigan’s in Adult Education classes. The Magyaris are now sharing what they have learned with audiences throughout the Detroit area. Their goal is to communicate the knowledge of feeding yourself with the edible plants that grow in urban areas.
