About this Event

Did you know there is wild food and medicine all around you, even in the middle of Chicago?

Want to know what local fruits to look for to bake into your next pie? what wild greens to put on top of your pizza? what nearby plants make a bandage in a pinch?

Come join me on a foraging walk to learn how to identify wild edible and medicinal flora, while integrating safe and ethical foraging practices. I want you to learn how to stay safe while trying new wild foods and ensure that these plants continue to be an abundant resource for us all.


  • Connect with your local ecosystems
  • Connect with people
  • Spend time in nature


Come tune in to the abundance all around us.

I look forward to you joining me.
