Summer City Foraging

You don’t need to trek into the wilderness to harvest wild edibles—there are options right here in the city! Join Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging to explore the urban environment in search of wild foods.

The class will focus on easy-to-identify seasonal flowers and fruits, starting right on ASI’s campus. Participants will also discuss other wild edibles found along the way and the cultural heritage of foraging in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. A similar workshop takes place in October with a focus on other seasonal plants.

Students should wear clothing appropriate for the weather (rain or shine!) and be prepared to walk up to 10–12 city blocks. Suitable for ages 18+, or 11–17 accompanied by a registered adult.
