Thank you @giantdaughter for taking us on a lovely walk through town with a keen eye to the foraging potential! We learned about milk weed, cat tails, wood sorrel, wild mint, grape leaves and much more! A lovely taste of fried milkweed pods, wild greens with wild rice and linden flower ice cream for dessert. All while great information sharing Hakeem with the group.
