Have you ever wanted to go foraging? Perhaps you do forage, just a little, and want to learn more, more about healthy spring greens and other shoots, leaves, flowers, fruits that add unique and delicious flavors to your diet. I'm teaching a class on June 1st that could be just what you are looking for. We'll talk not about the merely edible but focus on the tasty and delicious. Wild plants that are sometimes called "weeds" and also those you might be growing as ornamentals, unaware that they are also edible.

Flowers, shoots, and roots of the common tawny daylily, for example.

The class is coming up soon, in just a couple of weeks.

Saturday, 1 June 2013 - "Foraging in Your Garden" NEW
at Rutgers Gardens, Ryders Lane, New Brunswick, New Jersey
Foraging for food outside of your vegetable garden has truly grown in popularity as more and more homeowners realize how many plants are not only edible, but very tasty too! This class will explore not only the broad variety of weeds that are edible, but a diversity of plants you cultivate for ornamental looks that are unexpectedly edible - daylily shoots and flowers for example. This is a great class for gardeners, cooks and locavores alike.

Dandelions, brought from Europe to the United States as an edible, now escaped naturalized weeds.

Ditto garlic mustard.
