Ever hear the phrase “the world’s mine oyster?” Pistol, a character in Shakespeare’s play “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” went on to say, “Which I with sword will open.” There are some people who can go outside and will never be hungry. The world is just an open cupboard (or fridge) to them.

Hawaii’s year-round growing season offers an array of wild food options for intrepid “localvores.” From seeds to leaves, stems to fruits. To learn what is edible and what is not, join instructor Zach Mermel of Ola Design Group for the Edible Wild Plants workshop from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. May 21 at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano. The cost is $40, $30 for VAC members.
Participants will interact firsthand with many under-appreciated edibles and also will prepare a number of wild food dishes. This is hands-on immersion for foragers and foodies.
Never eat anything from the wild with- out first consulting an expert.
