DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lunchbox Talk: Eating Like a Bird - Native Fruits We Can
  Enjoy at Our Tables\n\nwith Mary Jac Brennan\, Heartplace Farm Consulting
  and Scott Carter\, Master Naturalist\, Durham County\n\n \n\nWatch the bi
 rds as they feed in the fields and forests and you might find a tasty trea
 t for your self. Birds aren’t the only creatures who can enjoy native fr
 uits. In this Lunchbox talk\, we’ll discuss 12 fruiting plants which can
  be added to your landscape for attracting birds\, pollinators and human b
 eings. Learn how to cultivate these native fruits in your garden and suppo
 rt biodiversity in your landscape and diet. \n\n \n\nOften the focus of ad
 ding native plants to your landscape is to attract more wildlife by provid
 ing more food and habitat for them. What if you could have more birds to w
 atch\, help improve your landscape’s biodiversity\, and share a deliciou
 s food source? Many native fruiting plants can be prepared as dishes that 
 are tasty and nutritious. Native fruits are full of vitamins\, minerals\, 
 and antioxidants which can improve health\, along with being tasty. Many n
 ative fruits are sweeter\, tarter\, or just provide a more unusual flavor 
 palette than the hybridized fruits we find in our grocery stores. Chefs an
 d brewers love them! \n\n \n\nIn this talk a variety of native edible frui
 ts will be presented. Attendees will learn the cultural needs of each plan
 t along with tips for planting\, growing\, harvesting\, and how to use the
  fruit of each plant. A discussion of the design and utility of each plant
  and how to use it in an edible landscape plan will be provided.\n\n \n\nA
 ttend in-person or on Zoom. Register here >
