Green-Wood Ramble
5 November 2017
12pm - 3pm
$45
THIS WALK IS SOLD OUT
Join me on an autumn ramble and picnic in the wooded hills and dales of beautiful Green-Wood Cemetery, where some of New York's most impressive trees grow. While we will be identifying everything botanically edible as we walk, this is also a chance to explore one of the most serene places in the city.
While every year is unique in its timing, and leaf color and leaf drop will vary, Green-Wood is one of the best places to appreciate the changing season without leaving the city.
Green-Wood is home not only to Leonard Bernstein, but to mushrooms and acorns, beech nuts and sheep sorrel. I'm not promising mushrooms, just saying: You never know. If the conditions are right we may chance upon some late hen of the woods.
...and maybe a persimmon or two.
The park-like space is also the refuge of New Yorkers like ground hogs, raccoons and opossums.
...and birds still making their way south. Green-Wood is a popular refueling and resting station.
And of course, there are the famous parrots.
We will share a fall picnic of seasonal, wild inspired snacks which may include hen of the woods pâté, mugwort shortbread and persimmon spice cakes. And a cordial from a very good cordial-making year.
More info and meet up details will be sent to you in the week before the walk. Attendance is limited. See you in the fall!
How exciting -- a new location! I look forward to walking there with you.

DeleteI waited too long.😢 (I'd love to know if a space opens up)
ReplyDeleteHi Chris! Sorry about that, it's proven very popular with a wait list, already. But you never know :-) There is a walk on November 12th, in Prospect Park, too. Check the tab at the top of the page for booking.
