Can you find food and medicine growing in your city? Robin Greenfield’s answer… YES!
To show you, he led a foraging walk at the US Capitol in Washington DC. Here he found food and medicine growing even in this manicured landscape.

In this video Robin introduces you to approximately 10 common edible and medicinal plants and shares tips on how to get started foraging and overcome the anxiety and fear, foraging safety, ethical foraging and how to become a plant wizard!

For one month Robin Greenfield foraged 100% of his food, over 100 different foods from the land. At the same time he traveled from city to city, leading foraging walks connecting helping to reconnect his Dear Friend with Earth. We recorded this plant walk at the US Capitol for YOU!
