Urban Foraging Walk

Have you been wondering what is good to eat that is not from the store? And scared to eat wrong stuff?
I will show you my favourite easy accessible species to forage and share thoughts on living a richer life!

FORAGING benefits:

1. Learning about plants enriches your life.
2. Free food.
3. No plastic.
4. No food miles.
5. Wild edibles are healthier for you, they are as nature intended. They have stronger immune systems for the area where they grow - harvesting local can help boost your own immune system.
6. Diversifies your food.

This workshop is suitable for all creatives, makers, nature enthusiasts, chefs most welcome!

Kids come free - with one paying adult.
