About Foraging Walk at Leland

Join us on an evening stroll where you’ll gain basic skills to identify some tasty wild edible plants common in urban settings within the Greater Boston Area. We’ll focus on ethical and safe foraging practices as well as culinary and medicinal applications.

This walk will be led by Celine, who is an interdisciplinary creative who has been foraging in the Boston area for nearly 10 years. After spending seven years working at restaurants as a cook, Celine now works as shopkeep and chef at THE mushroom shop in Somerville, MA.

Note: Our foraging programs are led by knowledgeable guides and focus on the ecology of wild edibles and their vital role in the ecosystem and our food system. Consuming wild edibles on your own should be done at your own risk and discretion. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have accurately identified any plant before consuming it. If there are any doubts about the identification it is best not to eat it.

This program is available to all on a sliding scale fee.

Leland Cooperative Garden is located at 4 Leland St in Jamaica Plain, a short walk from the Forest Hills Orange Line Station.

This event is free for Leland gardeners and Boston Food Forest stewards, who can RSVP by emailing alice@bostonfoodforest.org.
