Foraging as Mindfulness, The Watershed Institute

Saturday May 2, 2026
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Welcome spring and connect with our foraging roots on this delicious hike in search of wild edible plants.  Inspired by the tales of pioneers and Euell Gibbons’ Stalking the Wild Asparagus, naturalist Jeff Hoagland has been enjoying wild edible plants for over 50 years.  We will explore the fields and forest of the Watershed Reserve discovering a wealth of edible plants representing the traditions of our European roots and Native America.  Learn to identify and enjoy a variety of wild edible plants as a rite of spring. Our samplings will include native and non-native species and may include cattail, garlic mustard, violets, winter cress, ramps, spring beauty, wild ginger and much, much more. NOTE - The Watershed Reserve is NOT open to public foraging. 

This program is intended for adults. Pre-registration is required.
