Family Foraging

Sunday, Sept. 28 2-4pm

Percy Warner Park

This class is designed to nurture outdoor confidence and give families the tools to forage responsibly and joyfully. This is a hands-on, family-friendly, beginners introduction to finding wild edible plants. 

We will explore a local trail or meadow, learning to identify a handful of safe, easy-to-recognize edibles and how to distinguish them from look-alikes. Along the way, we’ll share fun plant stories, ecological facts, and simple recipes kids can help make. Families can practice plant identification through a scavenger hunt and taste-testing (when appropriate). This class will touch on ethical harvesting, seasonal patterns, and safety tips. Everyone leaves with a small field guide and a list of “starter plants” for future adventures.

Ticket price is for 1 adult and 1 child, additional family members can be added for $20 apiece.
