@manitobamuseum Part 1: Manitoba has many wild plants that produce edible fruits. These can make for a nutritious snack while out on a walk or hike, and can also be a great addition to your garden – keeping that tasty fruit nearby! In this video, learn about some of the berries, cherries, and "faux" berries of Manitoba with Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson. Check back for part 2! Note: Before consuming any wild fruit, remember to consult with a field guide, to ensure you can correctly identify both edible and dangerous fruits. #Foraging #EdiblePlants #ManitobaNature #BerryPicking #ForagingTok #Museums #MuseumTok #ManitobaMuseum ♬ original sound – Manitoba Museum
