Foraging for Edible Wild Plants
Edible plants are growing all around us and ready to enjoy throughout the year. From fruits like mulberries and elderberries, greens including nettles and spicy mustards, root vegetables like burdock and jerusalem artichoke, nuts such as hickory and black walnut, to a variety of teas including pineapple weed and various mints. We'll explore what to eat, what not to eat, where to find it, and how to prepare it, with a focus on urban environments.
