Park Walk | Foraging Tour: Sechuan Pepper, Ginkgo Trees, Black Nuts, American Persimmon and More (in-person)

Saturday, December 5, 2020, 11:45 am

$20 suggested donation, RSVP required

A great abundance of edible and medicinal wild plants and mushrooms makes this park a great place for foraging in the fall: burdock, an expensive detoxifying herb sold in health food stores; the root of sassafras, which tastes like root beer, makes a great tea, as well as root beer; chickweed, which tastes like corn; the American persimmon, with a sweet fruit that gets better as it gets uglier! Nuts of the ginkgo tree will be at their peak. Pear-shaped puffballs, blewits, brick tops, enokis, oyster mushrooms, and tree ear mushrooms could pop up anywhere.

The tour will last for about 4 hours. Please wear a mask and observe social distancing.
