During the Spring months, the forest floor is adorned with a variety of colorful wildflowers, such as trilliums and miner’s lettuce, which can be enjoyed as edible treats. Other wild plants like stinging nettle, wild mint, and lemon balm are also commonly found in the forest, and can be used in teas, salads, and other dishes.
