Featured in Time Out NY:
A lot more than trees grow in Brooklyn—at 3rd Ward’s “Edible and Medicinal Herbs with Local Plants” (four sessions, Aug 6–27; $225, members $180, materials $20; 718-715-4961, 3rdward.com), instructor Irina Adam helps curious herbivores figure out what’s underfoot. Adam, an environmental-preservation advocate and the founder of organic skin-care line Phoenix Botanicals, takes students foraging through surprisingly verdant Bushwick, where attendees can expect to find plants and herbs such as plantain and sheep sorrel. Learn everything from ancient folklore to nutritional information as you transform the haul into teas, oils, honeys, vinegars, lip balms and lotions.
