Urban Foraging Tour

Join us as we learn about edible wild plants and mushrooms found in Morningside Park from naturalist-author "Wildman" Steve Brill on his 75th birthday!

The 2hr tour will meet at 120th st and Morningside Ave to explore the first edible/medicinal plants to appear in early spring.

These cold-resistant greens include field garlic, with spicy, onion-like bulbs, plus the tender young leaves which you use like chives. This tasty plant prevents the Covid virus: Once you eat it, your breath will be so bad, no one will ever come close enough to you to infect you!

Chickweed, which tastes like corn-on-the-cob, grows in sunny spots throughout the park. It tastes like corn, and has more vitamins than a health food store.
