10am to 1pm

At the home of Susan Lobo, in the middle of a wonderful mesquite grove
1415 E. Prince —west of Campbell, north side of street, light blue stand-up
mailbox, and sign saying “Rancho Prince” drive in, park and walk back to the
site about 100 yards. We will be in the shade

MESQUITE is a life giving tree for desert people and a veritable wealth of medicines and food can be found in all its parts. Now is about the time to harvest and use mesquite pods. We will harvest and
quick-dry the pods to grind a small amount of flour.
We will make a brunch using mesquite-based foods, prepare a dye and an eyewash from the pitch and leaves.
Bring gloves, a hat and container of water, wear long sleeves and covered shoes.

Cost: $40, includes all materials and foods, scholarships available
