Green Hill Park | Foraging Plants and Mushrooms

Details

Meeting spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/THzGioc4JbaG5rBR7

What to bring:
Appropriate clothing for going in the woods
Some sort of bag or basket for gathering

Optional:
Gardening gloves
Knife
Hand shovel
Scissors
Phone with plant identification app
Field guide resources (I am using Southeast Foraging by Chris Bennett)
Pen and journal

I will teach my methods of identification, review the rules of foraging, and point out familiar plants and their uses. We will also work together to identify new plants- building our knowledge as a team. We will be foraging late-Spring plants (and mushrooms if it's wet enough). There should be wild turnip (field mustard) and more garlic mustard in abundance, but we will find some other stuff as well.
