My guest this week on the Progressive Radio Network is Leda Meredith. Leda has been foraging since she was a toddler (it’s her great-grandmother’s fault) and has always felt connected to nature through the wild edible and medicinal plants. It is her mission to share that connection so that others may enjoy the free, delicious, healthy food growing all around them in a way that benefits both them and the ecosystems they harvest from.

Leda holds a certificate in Ethnobotany from the New York Botanical Garden, where she is also an instructor. She conducts foraging tours, food preservation demos, and teaches medicinal and edible plant workshops for numerous organizations including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Slow Food NYC, and Just Food. She is a contributor to numerous publications including Mother Earth News. She is the author of seven books, including her most recent books, The Skillful Forager, and Pickling Everything. Connect with her at ledameredith.com.
