Join forager & ethnobotanist Aaron for a hands on talk and tour to learn about wild edible plants and forage some of your own food to taste

In this hands on workshop you will get a talk and tour of the wild plants in our beautiful Peace Garden as well as some background info and practical tips and practice of foraging so that you can go home and find edible plants near where you live.

You will learn how to do an edibility test and how to keep both yourself, and the ecology, safe whilst foraging. As well as key features and tools to identify some edible plants we will also talk about how the different seasons and landscapes affect foraging.

Before the end of the day you will have foraged and prepared some of your own wild food and learnt about the uses of different plants, methods for preparing them, and recipes you can try at home.

There will be tea, foraged herbal tea, biscuits and forage nibbles available at the lunch break. Please also bring your own packed lunch. Please come wearing clothes suitable for the weather and sturdy shoes you don't mind getting a little muddy.
