Eat Your Yard: Foodscaping and the Sustainable Backyard on Thursday, July 10 at River House

$10

with James Carucci

Calendar Jul 10, 2025 at 2 pm, runs for 1 week

Foodscaping is the concept of creating landscapes which are sustainable, reduce water consumption, provide wildlife habitat and produce plants which are edible and therapeutic. Many plants you find in your lawn and gardens are actually edible and play a role in our local ecosystem. In this class, you will learn about Florida native plants that some consider “weeds” but can actually add color to your landscape – and your plate! Food tastings and recipes will be provided.

James is a professor of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, a Master Herbalist and Natural Health Practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience, and a personal chef.

This is a one day, one session class on Thursday, July 10 from 2 - 3 at River House, 179 Marine Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084. For a map click here.
