- Can you find food and medicine growing in your city? Robin Greenfield’s answer… YES!
To show you, he led a foraging walk in Central Park, in the heart of New York City, one of the most urban cities in the United States. Here he found food and medicine growing at every step.
In this video Robin introduces you to approximately 10 common edible and medicinal plants and shares tips on how to get started foraging and overcome the anxiety and fear, foraging safety, ethical foraging and how to become a plant wizard!
For one month Robin Greenfield foraged 100% of his food, over 100 different foods from the land. At the same time he traveled from city to city, leading foraging walks connecting helping to reconnect his Dear Friend with Earth. We recorded this plant walk in Central Park for YOU!
Inspired to learn the foods and medicines growing freely and abundantly around you?

rob can you please do more of these foraging episode specifically? I think they're truly invaluable. I've re watched this several times and saved it too
Yes! Washington DC will be coming out in the next couple weeks!
And Rob, charge a small fee for your classes, because it’s important to have a bit of cash for travel expenses. Also, can you eat eggs? Is there a way of foraging eggs? I wonder if wild chickens even exist here…
This is a wonderful video, hope you make one in San Diego one day, so you can teach us personally about edible plants here.
Absolutely love learning from you. Your enthusiasm about the plant friends makes my soul happy. I love that you include the ethics of foraging in your videos and your talks. I also love that you introduce the plants as friends rather than simply a commodity to be used. Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing
I can’t believe he was in New York City and I didn’t know. I’ve wanted to go foraging there for awhile. 😤
I Love how he is inclusive of indigenous people in his considerations.💚🙏🏽
He invited random people, people... do you have no shame?😮
Rob is a very conscious guy in every sense.
Love it! Also love how he’s bare foot in Central Park 😂
Excellent point about the USDA connection to evil corp Monsanto Rob. Theres a film called "The World According to Monsanto" that explains this well if anyone is interested.
Hello from NY👋 love it! lol wish I was there 💛🌿 thanks for posting 😊
I took the Steve Brill foraging class in central park and prospect park and both were excellent! So much free food and medicine 😍
Love these people. All my favorite people are in this video. Love love love❤
This is such an amazing and important skill to have. I've been learning foraging for the past 4 years now and I have a list of 70+ plants I know!
OMG thank you for pointing out that the black forager has a TikTok! That's my Friday night sorted X
So sorry I missed this walk and the opportunity to be with Rob Greenfield for an hour. However I'm totally enjoying the recording while processing my first ever acorn forage 🐿🍁🙂
Excellent presentation. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you! This was really great and have only recently learned that what my Big Mama taught me about picking up food in the wild is called foraging. 😊 Been teaching my kids on our little neighborhood walks for years. It was so cool to see you talk about plants that I’ve been nibbling on during my walks. Stay blessed! 💚
that first lady didnt really like the olives i think haha
That was super fun! Thank you again Rob. You rock :)
Lambs quarters is part of the goose fit family. Actually related to spinach beets chard and amaranth/quinoa
Great foraging vlog🎉
Enjoyed your walk and talk. Hello from eastern long island.
You've never eaten burdock shoots? Wow, it's one of my favorite spring veggies (although it does stain your fingers when you peel it). I've been eating it since I first started foraging so I didn't realize advanced folks wouldn't necessarily know it.

Hey, its the trash walker, Anna Sachs I think. Crossover episode lol. Makes a lot of sense based on your content
That's indeed her. :)
Thank you sooo much!Love and Lights to all
This was so educational
Great job, Rob! You've learned a lot in a short time. I've been learning about edible plants for a half century, and I find that there's always more to learn. Smartweed/ladyfinger was a new one to me. I've seen it, so now I'll have to try it.
I have enjoyed watching all of your videos and have definitely learned a lot from them. That said, this is on of your best ones. More foraging videos please! Thanks for doing what you do
I'm so happy to see so much content about foraging ! A new thing/chapter I daren't doing by myself.
One fact is that It seems more difficult in Belgium to do it. Cites and concrete are everywhere and we are overpopulated ! :o
Now I've watched your video, I will do more researches about places to go (maybe in France ?) and find my new heaven (delicious food to eat).
I hope to see you very soon in Europe and thx for showing the path !

I love these videos! However, could you give us tips on identification? I know there are a few. But I imaging myself thinking that something is edible and it turns out to be grass. Also, I keep seeing your wild rice. Is there a video on how you collected and processed that? Ofc it is our responsibility to learn tlaome things ourselves. I just don't want to go out and eat poison ivy. Lol. Also when foraging nuts how do we process them?
Thank you Rob. I know TH-cam is messing with your view counts cuz they don't want you to influence more people or the supermarket and big food corporations of the few global elites will go bankrupt. People should think smart now cuz this inflation is one global market manipulation by the 1% rich to double their wealth and we were always the victim of their food price hike, fuel price hike and they just want to increase food and basic services because they owned most of the giant food corporations around the world...
Not only the people love you , but also the green and colored plans too 😊
This episode made me cry
Rob this is so needed thank you
Hi foraging comunity:) It is so nice you studing nature around. Usulay I just pick mushrooms from forest. But this sommer I harvest a lot of Cornelian cherries, it is my favorit cherrie. They need to be realy ripe falen under the tree to become soft, sweet and tasty. They have so unic flavor:) This year I also found young mulberry tree growing between stone fence and path over the river Limmat. Probably some birth seed it there by poop the seed to right place :) Btw: pesticides(fungycides, herbicides, insekticides and many more)
Good adventure 😊
Still doing these walks? Thanks so much for the video!
Smart weed(lady finger) look like exactly like
Thai-koriander PERSICARIA ODORATA
I live off of 5th Ave if you would like we can meet up I actually want to learn from you I'm going out and adventure. Only living off the land
Funny in a city setting with tourists
You are the Shiznat !!!!❤
God bless..
How can I join your plant walk?
Hello 👋
Hey Rob. Are you in Asheville anytime soon?
Rob will be back in about two weeks! See event here: m.facebook.com/events/619802189837171

Did you mean to say herbicides when you were talking about pesticides around 13:38?
is it legal to pick up any plant in US parks? It's illegal in Canada.
the plant at 29:00 that you said wasn’t a lambsquarter was a lambsquarter lol
💙💙💙V🦅TE💙💙💙
thanks! just be safe, lots of crime there!

Bro anytime you're around Boston HMU! I live 20 minutes south of Nantasket and am there every week.
I like to teach my kids about edible and medicinal plants when I can. If the governments really cared about the people, we'd have edible and medicinal plants everywhere and we'd be taught about them in school. Kids should be learning how to make a spit poultice from plantain. It could save their life! They should be learning that yarrow can stop bleeding. Instead they're learning about what pronouns to use so they don't upset someone that's confused about how many sexes there are.
Wood sorrel is a very tasty treat! Now me and my kids like snacking on the wood sorrel which is all over my yard now.
Purslane is another good plant to forage or grow in your garden on purpose. My kids love my purslane soup.
When are you going to buy a piece of land and make a permaculture garden??
I feel like this is a class but, it isn't helpful if we can't identify the plant. Ao may have to move to a Chanel that helps us identify plants. Like, we get it go forage. But we can't go forage and just try all of the greens.
Lmao.. the marijuana got to him. 😆 🤣
Learn one plant at a time and you'll be a survivor when emergency calls..
Sorry Rob, I won't eat ANYTHING growing in Central Park!!!🤢
You are mixing up pesticides and herbicides. Yes, they are all chemicals, but they have different effects on the body when consumed.
I cannot imagine eating anything in NYC. I would rather bob for apples in a public toilet. Good grief. This video is a parody right ???
I would probably watch a vid of someone bobbing for apples from a toilet..
Aaaand an Other awesome HueMan whoz reputably Wize in the wayz of plants iz Yarrow Willard!
