High Tea at the ODC – Sunday August 11th
Plants have been vital for human survival for centuries, but before there were grocery stores to ease the gathering process, humans had to forage to gain knowledge about what to eat. Learning about the plants that grow in our backyards and communities can be useful and help us feel more connected to the ecosystem around us. Join ODC Lead Vriti Bakshi in a high-tea style nature talk about different plants at the ODC and how they can be eaten and enjoyed respectfully. Vriti has been a local to Osoyoos for many years and enjoys creating teas based on the knowledge she has gained through both indigenous voices and her own research over the years. She’ll have some of her brews on hand to sample.
All Nature Talks start at 11 am and are free with admission.
Admission: Family – $25 (Max 2 adults & children under 18); Adults – $10; Seniors (65+) – $9; Youth (ages 6-17) – $8; Children (5 and under) – Free
