You'll begin with spicy hedge mustard, corn-flavored chickweed, and spinach-flavored lamb's quarters. Then, you'll come across stands of goutweed, an herb that tastes like parsley, carrots and celery. Nearby, you'll find munch on sweet-sour redbud flowers, then check out the asparagus-flavored Devil's walkingstick trees that grow next to sour-flavored Japanese knotweed shoots. You'll also find sour-flavored curly dock leaves, wild bay leaves, and wintergreen-flavored black birch, peppergrass, poor man's pepper, common blue violets, jewelweed, plus the roots of burdock, wild carrots, and much more. The tour will last for about 4 hours. Please wear a mask and observe social distancing.
