Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Delightful experience and guide, will do again. Main advice - bring hand warmers in the winter. -
Prospect Park (Kids 12 & Under)
Excellent course! Only issue was actually finding the in-person foraging class, which was meeting in a crowded public area without sufficiently specific location details and no instructor contact details on the Coursehorse website or emailed course registration confirmation. Luckily the instructor's name was mentioned on the Coursehorse website, and I was able to do and online search, find his contact info and reach him by phone to locate the class so my daughter and I could get there before they departed into the woods for the class. Coursehorse should provide better class meeting location details and instructor contact information on their website and emailed course registration confirmations. -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
The class was extremely informative and steve is a funny guy. -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Steve was hilarious, insightful and took great care on guiding us through the park and providing detailed identification of plants. Best money you'll ever spend on a course, and one that will help you find free food for the rest of your life! -

Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
It was great class and teacher! However please check hus website for the actual info of the class! Meeting location is the same but the time is probably different! Definitely worth it, he was very knowledgeable and funny! -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Steve and Violet were immensely knowledgeable and I recommend this walk to anyone curious about connecting with the plants in their path. As an amateur forager, I left with several new plant allies to name and work with as food and medicine. Disclaimer: brace yourself for some seriously corny jokes :-) -

Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Comprehensive and informative, really cool practical knowledge and fun guidance! -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
This could not have been any better. Mr. Wildman is about as entertaining and informative as any instructor ever. Bring a friend and take a walk around the park eating the edible plants you walk past un-knowingly every day. Make sure to bring water and a lunch unless you want to subsist on gout weed alone! Bring a plastic or paper bag if you want to keep some plants for recipes. We made a great pesto from the greens we collected. -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Wildman Steve is a wonderful naturalist and guide. He shared so much with us, lore, botany, stories, herbalism. I learned a lot. I have been very eager to learn about foraging and he set me up. -

Steve and Violet were excellent guides for our Prospect Park excursion.
