Hello I’m Jose from cedar hill Texas
Want to know more about your classes
We own a 14 acre property. Would you or someone you know be willing to come out and tell us / tech us about edible and medicinal plants on the property and how much a class like this would cost.
Live in Brazoria County. Looking for classes on mushroom foraging, cultivation, etc.
Just moved to Freestone County and am interested in finding someone who can help me identify the wild edibles in my area.
