Landscaping for the Zombie Apocalypse with Mark Vorderbruggen

Thursday, February 2012:00—1:00 PMZoom

Zombie apocalypses have been a mainstay of movies and books for nearly 50 years and continue to thrive with such cultural phenomena such as "The Last of Us" and "The Walking Dead". Many people have at least thought a little about how they would survive in such a scenario and usually the answer is, "Not very well."
Let's change that!
On Tuesday, April 30th at 4:30pm, join edible & medicinal plant expert Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. chemist, herbalist, and foraging instructor as he humorously teaches you how to replace your non-functional landscaping with 10 plants that'll help you survive and thrive in a zombie apocalypse or any other "End of the World as We Know It" situation.

Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. is often (somewhat) jokingly described as a scientist raised by wolves. Having a M.S. in medicinal chemistry and a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry, he brings science into the world of wild edible and medicinal plants through his websites foragingtexas.com and medicinemanplantco.com. On the science side he has sixteen patents and numerous articles in research journals from his career as an oilfield chemist. But his true love is plants and the miracles they contain. He hosts one of the top wild edible/medicinal plant sites on the internet; he's written countless foraging articles for a wide variety of magazines; taught hundreds of foraging walkabouts; appeared on radio, TV, and podcasts and has written a popular book on the subject.

Registration for this event opens Saturday, February 1 at 8:00 AM.
