This is a beautiful location with a huge variety of wild edible,
medicinal and aromatic plants. Most of the location is under water
during spring time but at this time of the year, the plants are
growing like crazy.
We won't be picking native plants in this location though we will see
many of them and will talk about their uses but the real bounty is the
sheer amount of delicious non-native plants growing in that location -
Wild radish, curly dock, figs, wild spinach, perennial pepperweed
(sort of wild cabbage) and much more. So we'll pick up those and help
the environment in the process.
It's a very gentle walk with lots of stops to talk about the plants
and trees.
After the walk, we’ll enjoy some nice wild cold drinks with the wild
food salad and maybe an additional snack too.
Long pants is a good idea - We have poison oak in the area. Also bring
water and sun protection.
Note:
After you enter the park at the intersection of Foothill Blvd and Oak
Grove Dr, take the road on the left and go down toward the baseball
field. There is a parking lot there, if it's full there is another one
a bit further.
The location can be quite busy (it's a frisbee golf course)
I usually drive a red jeep wrangler with a brown top, I'll be standing
next to it.
