Wild Roots in the Park - Dandy Dandelions Workshop

About this event

During this spring excursion, participants of all ages will become wildlife detectives as they explore the dandelions in bloom at Fort Hardy Park.

Led by certified foragers from Saratoga Wild roots participants will use small spades, trimmers, and harvesting vessels to collect these bright yellow “weeds” and learn about the many uses of dandelions – from festive crowns to nutritious bitter greens.
