I’m learning a lot this year about foraging. I have a background in plant ecology and have just been amazed at the amount of plant varieties found throughout the northeast that are edible, nutritious, flavorful, and more. I’ve read that plants are our original teachers, and I’ve been increasingly curious about what I can learn in relationship with all the green leafy individuals in my life.  Learning names, practicing recognition (botanists would say identification), listening. It’s all so fun and helps me feel deeply connected to the world where I live. Go try a sprig of purslane or peppergrass and tell me it’s not a good time!
