Description

Join local urban forager David Craft for a walking tour of Watertown's natural edible bounty. Did you know that tasty wild plants grow abundantly in the Northeast? Join David Craft, local urban forager and plant expert, to upgrade your knowledge of the wild greens readily available for foraging. You'll learn how to identify dozens of edible wild plants, and how they can add significantly to your culinary and nutritional repertoire. We'll also discuss cooking options, seasons of availability, and guidelines for safe and environmentally responsible foraging. You'll be amazed at the amount of greens, nuts, roots, and mushrooms that you can find now and over the next couple of months. Sampling in the field will be encouraged. For those interested in learning more about this subject, David’s book, Urban Foraging, will be available for sale at the walk for $10. The walk will meet in the Watertown Savings Bank Room on the First Floor.
