Foraging is characterized by searching, identifying, and gathering free food and provisions in nature. A forager is looking for herbs, plants, weeds, mushrooms, shellfish, wood, berries, fruits, and nuts.
Wild garlic is probably one of the most popular wild edible plants to forage in spring. Wild garlic is also known as wild leeks, wood leeks, bear leeks, ramsons, or ramps. Wild garlic is recognizable by its green spear-shaped leaves and beautiful, white star-shaped flowers growing in clusters.

In the months of March and April, one of the first wild foods that I forage is the stinging nettles and the decorative dead-purple nettles. The fresh new nettle shoots are perfect for a homemade vegan nettle soup with potatoes and coconut milk.
