Have you ever wondered what is edible in Humboldt Park? Your curiosity should lead you to Foraging 101 to find out. During this class, we discovered wild plantains, lemon clovers, husk tomatoes, and wild carrots. We learned as the seasons change mulberries, crabapples, and grapes would also be options. Armando, our guide, doesn’t recommend eating anything found close to the paths, buildings, or roads unless it is above knee height in order to avoid contamination from other elements.
Beyond finding edible items, you’ll discover plants that are great for creating terrariums and other decorative purposes. Armando’s enthusiasm for foraging is strongly evident and it is a joy listening to him. Sign up for Foraging 101 now!
