Take a foraging tour of this vastly under appreciated park, which offers all the best wild foods of the rich seashore habitat.

Forage for garlic mustard, field garlic, daylily shoots, dandelion greens, common mallow, and winter cress. There will also be plenty of the medicinal plants, including mullein, which has been used for coughs since the days of Hippocrates, and the season's first pineapple-weed, a pineapple-scented relative of chamomile that's used for indigestion.

The 4-hour foraging tour begins at 11:45am and Avenue U and Burnett Street. Register online in advance. Masks and social distancing required.
