Join Nature’s Chef for a day of plant connection. Explore the abundance of wild-foods that summer time offers. From berries, herbs to coastal vegetation, I’ll be sharing my favourite summer wild-foods with you, and how to introduce them to your diet, while greatly improving your micro-biome and strengthening our relationship to this earth.
What we’ll cover:
- What is out there to eat and not to eat
- Medicinal plants
- Understanding plant families
- Ethical harvesting practices
- How to process efficiently
