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. Together we will prepare and share a light meal.

 

You will learn

 

  • How to recognise common weeds

  • When, where and how to harvest honorably

  • Medicinal properties and preparation

  • How to incorporate wild plants into your diet

 

Includes handout with edible & medicinal uses of common plants for your future reference

We walk and gather on First Nation's Country. Sovereignty has never been seeded. I pay my deepest respect to traditional custodians, ancestors, elders and the spirits of this land. From you we seek guidance. May we walk together to remember sacred life-ways and our spiritual connection to place. May this way of being, knowing and doing bring us back into a relationship of reciprocity to enable truly sustainable growing and harvesting practices.
