Come to Standley Lake Nature Center from 9 – 11 am this Saturday for a chance to learn about the edible and medicinal plants growing wild in our area. I will be exploring the immediate area around the Nature Center for late Spring plants and what they are good for! This is a good introduction to local wild edibles and some of their medicinal properties as well. See you then!
Spring Walk & Talk April 12th

It’s Spring time, time for the Urban Forager to kick into high gear and start those fascinating discussions about the wild edibles in your yard and in your neighborhoods. The wild Spring greens are very valuable for tuning up your body gently and easily, as well as being loaded with vitamin and mineral goodness. Every season brings its own delightful wild plants, free for the picking, and each walk is focused on different ones you can use for your benefit. Come join me by signing up for the First Wild Edible Spring Walk of 2014.
If you are busy this Saturday and can’t come to Sustainability Park, think about getting some of your neighbors together for a talk & walk in your own neighborhood! Contact me and we can do it on your schedule. Everyone benefits from knowing what’s edible and free! Sign up by going to the live link under First Wild Edible Walk of the Spring!
Happy Foraging!

As the summer winds down, albeit slowly, the weeds are also on their way to Autumn shapes and colors. This is a fine time to see what to do to harvest wild amaranth seeds, and which plants to flag for picking even under snow! All the regular characters are still present and available and so one more weed walk is called for!! Come learn about eating, saving, harvesting, and using these wonderful plants for home remedies. Sign up at: http://tentiko.com/products/finding-food-in-the-city We are meeting on Saturday, September 14th from 9 – 11 am, so make sure you sign up and show up! It’s going to be another Wild Walk!
Foraging and Our Pioneers
04/30/2013 by Leave a Comment
Have you ever been to Four Mile Park? Maybe it’s time to give this historical Park in the city a closer look. I will be doing just that on Saturday May 4th. I have been invited to give a foraging talk at their Victorian Tea on that day, and I am really looking forward to it! I will learn as much as the people who attend this event, I’m sure.
Victorian Tea
Saturday, May 04 | 1:00 pm–3:00pm
As a working farm and ranch, Four Mile Historic Park was once supplied with edibles primarily from the land around the buildings, either in organized gardens or by gathering wild edibles that grew in the area. Join us at our Victorian Tea where Kate Armstrong, Urban Forager, will share the usefulness of the plants we normally ignore now; how some of them were brought to America from Europe because of their use as food and medicine; and how most rural and urban people knew how to supply themselves with simple meals, home remedies, and household products from these plants.
About the Presenter: Kate Armstrong has an educational and entertaining style that will add to your knowledge of these earlier times, give you food for thought, and may even interest you in harvesting some of the plants you now consider weeds! She brings a lifetime of experience to the subject as well as a wealth of helpful information. There will also be examples of the products she makes and uses from her backyard, the alley ways, and the neighborhoods in Denver. You will be able to identify (and taste) plants that are already up and growing since she will be bringing examples of these with her. http://urbanforager.co/about-kate-armstrong/
