About the event
Wild Pantry Foraging Walks
An introduction to the beautiful world of wild food! Join me, Mel Finn, for a 2 to 2.5-hour immersive foraging walk, where we’ll explore the edible treasures hidden in the landscape around us.
Over the course of our time together, we’ll cover:
🌿 Plant identification—learning about 10-20 seasonal species
🍃 Ethical & sustainable foraging practices 🥗 How to use wild ingredients in the home kitchen and in drinks (both alc & non-alc)
🌎 A deeper connection to the land through observation, curiosity, and conversation
No experience is necessary—this walk is the perfect start to your wild food journey! And because the seasons change, so do the offerings—there's always something new to discover, so feel free to join more than once.
