Weed Walk

By · Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

I spent some time this morning pulling up weeds in my lawn and my flower beds. Weeds never cease to amaze and inspire me. I can learn loads from their persistence and resilience.  Even better than that, I can supplement my lunch! My lawn hasn’t been sprayed with anything for the past 12 years, so I’m not hesitant to harvest some tender baby dandelion greens.

Want to learn more about what’s edible on your estate? Slow Food Westchester is excited to host a weed walk on May 1st. Join Herbalist Bonnie Rogers as she takes us on an informative tour of edible “weeds” and herbs.  Learn about how to harvest and prepare  common plants that are likely growing as “weeds” in your own yards. Nettles, dandelion, chickweed and much much more.

Where: 743 Bedford Road, Sleepy Hollow NY
Route 448 across the street from Stone Barns
