Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
Interesting course! Steve is definitely a character, and we did learn a number of interesting things. On the down side, it was supposed to run for 3 hours, we started late, finished much earlier, so I think it'd be more accurate to say that the actual course takes a couple of hours. -
Prospect Park (Teens/Adults)
We had a really lovely foraging walk. Steve is very knowledgeable about the local flora, approachable, and has a full stack of amazingly corny jokes. Highly recommended. -

It’s a fun experience for all ages to sit back and listen to a passionate individual like Steve talking about the very same plants we find ourselves walking passed in our life’s. Time flew as you learned the use cases and the right plants to snack on or incorporate in your meals. It was a lot of useful information to process and definitely has me looking at the environment differently. Lovely soul and entertaining to say the least. Really helps with cementing the information you receive. I look forward to attend more classes as I develop this new skill. -
