BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: URBAN FORAGING IN PROSPECT PARK WITH LEDA MEREDITH

WHERE: Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Meet at the Grand Army Plaza entrance near the Gazebo.

HOW MUCH: $15 pre-payment

WHAT: Food from the park? What!? Yes, indeed you can find food right in the city's playground. Take a guided tour of the urban forest, also known as Prospect Park, with forager, committed locavore, botanist, (June Supper Club Speaker and July foraging guide!) Leda Meredith. Leda will once again be sharing her wisdom and teaching us how to identify edibles in the urban terrain. Autumn's cooler weather means that we will be looking for wild greens, nuts, root vegetables, the last of the summer fruits and maybe even some mushrooms. At the end of the foraging walk, we will spend some time sitting in the park while Leda takes Q& A and we taste treats made with wild edible ingredients.

See photos from July's Foraging Trip.

WHAT TO BRING:
Comfortable walking shoes
Water
Pen and Pad (there won't be a test, but you may want to jot a few notes!)
Digital Camera (to photo the plants we ID and of course to capture the many happy memories of urban foraging)

BONUS:
For those of you who missed Leda at the June Supper Club or on the July foraging tour, you have another chance to purchase her new memoir, Botany, Ballet & Dinner from Scratch, at the foraging event. Citywide Supper Club Coordinator, Joanna, purchased a copy at the June event and was so enthralled by the stories that she finished the book in it's entirety by the next morning. She has since given copies to family and friends who are equally enthusiastic. We highly recommend it! (Bring cash or a check since there are no credit card machines in Prospect Park - $18.50 with tax).
