On Saturday, June 8, at 10:30 AM at West Falmouth Library, master forager and gardener Tama Matsuoka Wong will introduce her new book, Into the Weeds: How to Garden Like a Forager, about letting nature into your garden and kitchen. She will discuss the relationship between weeds, food, health and the environment. Please register here. A $10 donation at the door would be appreciated. This talk is presented by Farming Falmouth and West Falmouth Library.
Tama’s book will be available for sale and signing. Tama is a “forager and weed-warrior” who supplies edible wild plants to New York’s finest restaurants. She has been featured in the New York Times, Martha Stewart, The Guardian, Gardenista, and Modern Farmer.
As the author writes, “I had ideas about gardening, but everything I planted died. Then I started looking at what was already around me, and a lightbulb went off.” And, “All land, be it a formal hardscaped botanical garden, public park, office courtyard, backyard, front yard, farmland, community plot, urban lot, a windowsill pot…can shelter a little wilderness, a piece of paradise.”
