Plants are far more than just part of park's scenery, many plants have a wide variety of uses for humans. Dozens of plants we see every day can be used for food or medicine if you know how! Virginia is host to countless native plants that are edible or medicinal and have been used by humans for centuries. From big fruit trees like apples and persimmons, to small flowers like violets and dandelions, plenty of common plants have uses that might surprise you. Come to our forest foraging hike and learn how you can get more out of nature!
