Learn to activate your foraging senses to find food wherever you happen to be.
Roadsides, creek banks, the bush, parks and gardens are teeming with plants that can be eaten or used as medicine. Many of these plants we call weeds. Some are introduced and other are native and have been used for thousands of years by indigenous peoples.
Wild edible plants grow themselves and are super delicious and nutritious. They can be easily incorporated into your life, in snacks, salads, cooking, teas and much more. Join Leila on a forage walk and cooking collaboration to open your mind to a new way of being in relationship with plants and the natural world.
You will learn:
How to recognise common weeds
When, where and how to harvest weeds
Medicinal properties and uses of weeds
How to incorporate wild plants into your diet
