At our foraging session, volunteers dug up great quantities of three-cornered leek, an invasive species requiring much work to remove it every year. All parts of the plant, the bulb, flowers and leaves, are edible fresh or cooked. After making quantities of pesto with it, our volunteers enjoyed a three-cornered leek lunch and then took home jars of pesto.
