Indianapolis Foraging and Medicinal Plants

Come out and join us for a walk at Northwestway Park.

We'll be hiking, foraging, and discussing wild plants and mushrooms.

We'll be walking about 2 miles. Entrance to the park is free.

Everyone is welcome to attend no matter how much or little you know about foraging.

Note: Participants gather and consume plants and mushrooms at their own risk.

Dress for the weather - consider bringing, gloves, hat, boots, etc. Rain or shine (extreme weather will cancel). You may want to bring your own cutting implement, trowel, and containers.

Note: If you are new to foraging or just want to learn to identify more plant species, I recommend downloading a plant Identification app on your phone. You should never rely on an app as a sole means of identifying a plant or mushroom, but it’s a good way to learn more and get to know more plants and mushrooms. The "Picture This" app is good for plants and "Seek" is sometimes helpful for mushrooms.
