Plant ID Walk & Forage: Wild Edible & Medicinal Neighborhood Winter Plants

Join Collin Gow, C.N.C. for a fun and educational winter edible and medicinal plant identification walk in and around a Lake Magdalene yard and neighborhood. Thurs., January 15, 2026 at 4 PM EDT. Kids, adults, parents, chefs, naturalists...all are welcome! Children must be accompanied by at least 1 adult. Ages 5 and under are free. Age 6 and up, ticket required.

On this hike, Collin will teach you how to identify many natural treasures, while also discussing their biological actions, nutritional benefits, edibility, and Native American and ethnomedicinal uses. You will have a whole new botanical and wellness vocabulary by the end of it! Get ready to explore, eat, and learn about wild plants growing in the area. We might see a lichen or mushroom to identify also.

Collin is an author of 6 books, he is an experienced forager, and he holds certifications in nutrition, botany, wilderness first aid, herbalism, dietary supplements, and relationship science.

This class will take place rain or shine, so come prepared, and we will walk a distance of about 1/2 a mile. It is best to try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to the class. Anywhere from 5 to 35 people generally attend the walks, and Collin covers 15 to 20 species.

Reconnect to your ancestral roots, engage with and learn about the natural world around you, boost your immune system, build your microbiome, forage, wildcraft, and take your health and wellness to the next level.
