(emphasis on LOCAL!!) but if you carry them around and just sort of scatter them wherever it’s a real thrill… I know some people have strong opinions on this but I’m doing it in industrial Brooklyn so WHATEVER
chlonline YES!!!!! I love them, I was inspired to do this bc I was teaching some children how to make seed bombs to throw around their neighborhoods … the children need to learn guerrilla gardening
Recently I have started exploring my local woods and parks for herbs and leaves to use for teas and cooking. Today I found Three Cornered Leek and some wild garlic growing right next to it ! I love running around with my little plant identifier app and becoming more and more able to identify all the edible ( and terribly not edible) plants growing around me each day. I pop on my little foraging playlist that makes me feel like a wizard and I skip home with my baggie full of leaves:) This is the wild garlic I found today
to make little spring booklets and cards for friends? Or press herbs or local weeds for aromatic bookmarks? This also means having to walk around the block to find leass beaten up plants!
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
