Garlic Mustard Harvest

May 3 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$30

A group of garlic mustard plants topped with small white flowers growing outside.

Garlic mustard season is here! Alliaria petiolata, better known as garlic mustard, is an invasive species that’s hard to miss in this area, so it’s up to us to make them disappear in the best way we know how – eat it! Join us on a guided hike as we forage for garlic mustard. After the hike we’ll learn how to enjoy these tart and tasty plants three different ways. Space is limited for this event, so please purchase your ticket in advance.

$15 for Schuylkill Center Members / $30 for non-members. Not a member yet? Become a member and enjoy discounts to most events at the Schuylkill Center along with many other benefits. Learn more about membership.
