Park Walk | Foraging Tour: Daylily, Garlic Mustard, Wild Coffee, and More (in-person)

Saturday, March 20, 2021, 11:45 am

$20 suggested donation, RSVP required

This Brooklyn park is a great place for foragers to explore at the end of the winter as it features a variety of habitats filled with delicious native and exotic plants. Kentucky coffee-tree's seeds make caffeine-free coffee all year around. You'll find garlic mustard greens and sprouts, chickweed, which tastes like corn, bitter dock, as delicious cooked as it's awful raw, and ground ivy, a mint-flavored herb tea.

Both sweet-sharp daylily shoots, plus the plant's potato-like tubers, will already be producing bumper crops in the cold weather. You'll come across stands of goutweed, an herb that tastes like parsley, carrots and celery. You can use it as a seasoning, or cook it like creamed spinach. You'll also find additional edible trees, including sassafras, a great culinary seasoning you can also use to make tea or root beer, and black birch, also good for making tea and birch beer.

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