Your Guide to Foraging in Philly
There’s wild berries, leafy greens and small plants growing all over Philly that are actually edible. We’re revisiting an episode where host Trenae Nuri and producer Abby Fritz traveled to Lemon Hill and explored this corner of Fairmount Park with Lynn Landes, the creator of Wild Foodies of Philly. They learn about the vast variety of useful plants found in our city and share tips on how you can start foraging.
You can learn more about Wild Foodies of Philly, and the group’s meetups, here.
