Join Julie from Wild Ways Nature Education for a spring foraging workshop on the wild and beautiful Cul Ban organic farm. On the workshop we will go for a leisurely walk and learn how to identify all the wild plants, fungi and trees found growing on the farm. We will spend time discussing the edibility and traditional, modern and herbal uses for each plant and we will also discuss the many different methods of collecting and preserving the wild plants and how we can do this safely and sustainably. There will be hot and cold refreshments and wild scones on arrival and the walk will be followed by a three course lunch prepared from a combination of organic home-grown, wild and locally sourced ingredients. On this workshop we will focus on all the abundant wild greens around us in early spring and there will be a herbal salve making demonstration after lunch. Each participant will be emailed a 60 page plant profile after the workshop of all the plants discussed on the day. The plant file includes photographs of each plant with some information on edibility, nutritive content, herbal and traditional uses and some recipes. This workshop is geared towards adults who are new to foraging. Children under 16 are free and welcome when accompanied by an adult, please contact beforehand to confirm numbers. This is an outdoor event so please come prepared in case of wet weather but there is a covered seating area to enjoy the lunch. Dog friendly :)). An email with eircode will be sent out to attendees a week before the event. Phone Julie on 0874172047 for more details.
