Join herbalist and wild food forager Dana Driscoll for a plant walk that covers a variety of edible and medicinal plants growing here in our ecosystem. Our third walk covers a number of medicinal plants in the Indiana Community Garden and edible plants available in many residential areas in the Indiana Borough. Many of these plants can be found easily and readily in our gardens, parks, and edge spaces. The walk will cover basics of plant identification, edible uses, recipes, and medicinal uses. We’ll also talk about urban foraging.
Time and Location: Please meet at the Indiana Community Garden in Mack Park (6th and Carter Ave). The plant walk will start promptly at 6pm, and we will be in the ICG for the first hour of the walk and then will move into the surrounding residential areas. If it is storming or raining heavily, we will move the walk to the evening of Sunday, August 7th.
What to bring: Bring a notebook for taking notes, a camera, and ecologically-friendly bug spray. The walk will include some walking around, including in the residential areas of the Borough; if you have difficulty standing for long periods of time, consider chair that you can carry with you.
Suggested donation: $15/person. All proceeds benefit the Indiana Community Garden.
