Did you know that the Schuylkill Center has a delicious “garden” of wild plants growing in its fields and woods? Join Tama Matsuoka, author of Foraged Flavor, for a talk about the intersections of foraging, nature, and the environment. Tama will talk about what’s in season and share fine tips on harvesting and preparing “invasive” and other nonnative weeds (such as mugwort, garlic mustard and onion grass) that are sought after by starred chefs. Tama has a longstanding relationship with the Schuylkill Center stewardship program and returns to talk about wild foraging followed by a short walk on foraging “in the field.” Please wear boots and bring a ziploc bag to collect plants in. Pre-registration required; limited to 30 participants.
