Foraging in Prospect Park

A trip to Prospect Park this past Saturday with “Wildman” Steve Brill was a strange but insightful experience. Equipped with a stroller and a whistle Steve was ready for an afternoon of foraging and brilla-phone entertainment. Steve showed tasty plants and warned which should be avoided. Among the favorite treats found were Washington Hawthorn berries, Asiatic dayflower, Yellow wood sorrel, Wild Mustard seed, and Sassafras root. Sign up for a tour at http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/, but remember don’t eat the White Snake Root!

Garlic mustard seeds: legitimately delicious. Asiatic dayflower: eh, only if I desperately needed a lettuce substitute.
