Step into nature to discover a world full of wild, edible plants. Focusing on abundant, delicious & nutritious edible weeds & commonly found plants, you’ll leave this workshop eager to forage in your own backyard & neighborhood.
We’ll take a wander around my wild garden to find, identify, taste & discuss edible plants growing freely & abundantly.
We'll cover:
~ the basic principles of foraging including sustainable practices
~ confidence indentifying 10-15 edible wild plants
~ nutritional & medicinal benefits & practical first aid uses
~ common toxic/dangerous lookalikes to avoid
~ best ways to prepare for maximum nutrition & flavor
~ fascinating folklore & history of wild edible weeds used by our ancestors
You’ll leave feeling empowered with the knowledge needed to build better local food resilience & food security. You can skip going to the supermarket after this workshop, instead gathering your own wild greens for dinner.
We’ll start with a cup of herbal tea, and end the session by enjoying a wildly delicious snack made with seasonally available wild ingredients. This varies with the seasons but could include a wild salad, weedy pesto, pickled greens, a herb infused butter etc.
Class sizes are limited to allow lots of space for your questions, so book early to avoid missing out. After booking you’ll be sent an email with exact location & further details for the workshop, which is held in Raumati South, Kapiti, New Zealand.
