Welcome Weed Eaters.  My name's Daniel and I'm the group facilitator. This group was started to promote a greater appreciation for wild plants.  And there's no better way to show love, devotion and trust than by sharing a meal together. This is a collaborative endeavor.  Much of what I know about plants and nearly all the edible and useful stuff, I learned directly from other people (the oral tradition) and through experimentation.  I learn by listening, reading, trying and sharing.
