Urban Foraging with Leda Meredith

Leda Meredith—author of The Locavore's Handbook: The Busy Person's Guide to Eating Local on a Budget—delves into the buzzy world of foraging for this produce-plucking demonstration at Prospect Park. An instructor of food preservation at the New York and Brooklyn botanical gardens, Meredith will school amateur foragers on how to safely identify and harvest edibles, from cooking stir-fry with burdock stalks to using dandelion roots as a morning pick-me-up in place of coffee.
