DINING WILD AT DURAND-HEDDEN HOUSE TODAY



1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today.
Would you like to learn about the edible world all around us? Hickory nuts, garlic mustard, oyster mushrooms, burdock, dandelion! These are just a few of the wonderful foods available just outside your door.

Don’t miss this second exciting opportunity to join Maplewood locavore and owner of DiningWild LLC, Dan Lipow, for a wild food foray on the grounds of Grasmere Park surrounding the Durand-Hedden House. This walk is a chance to learn how to identify, harvest, and sample the bounty our local ecosystem has to offer, this time in early Fall. Ongoing from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., the event will be guided by seasonally available wild foods. After the harvest, return to Dan’s camping kitchen where we’ll learn how to prepare and enjoy our wild-gotten goods.

Things to Bring: Sturdy trail shoes or boots – waterproof is good. No sandals (there may be poison ivy, bugs, and thorns). Clothes you can get dirty in; long pants and long sleeves are also a good idea. Also recommended: insect repellent, sun hat or rain gear, as necessary.

523 Ridgewood Rd.
