Forage Wanders
Learn to activate your foraging senses to find food, medicine and fibre wherever you happen to be.
Roadsides, creek banks, the bush, parks and gardens are teeming with plants that can be eaten, used as medicine or for weaving and string making. Many of these plants we call weeds, some are introduced and other are native and have been used for thousands of years by aboriginal people.
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 me on a forage walk and open your mind to a new way of being in relationship with plants and the natural world.

Bush Foods
Australian Bush foods are super delicious, nutritious and medicinal. They can be easily incorporated into your diet, in snacks, salads, cooking, teas and much more. Once established, natives will grow themselves, requiring no watering or fertiliser. They attract native wildlife, creating vital habitat for birds, insects and pollinators.
Learn to recognise and harvest local native foods, and then collectively prepare them in the kitchen.
