Digging Up Community — And Some Fruit — In Front Of Your Neighbor's Garden

#113: Foraging doesn't just mean hightailing it to the Santa Monica mountains and looking through brush and wood for mushrooms. There's a whole world of wild, and not-so-wild foods growing all around us — in our Urban Forest. Los Angeles has so much to offer, whether you're looking for citrus or loquats or edible flowers. But it's a LOT to learn all by yourself.

She was out there recently with a BIPOC foraging group to learn how to forage for the first time, and now she's sharing what she learned — and the community she gained — with Brian.
