About the event
Do you love nature but have trouble connecting with it on a daily basis? Are you interested in finding wild foods right where you live but feel afraid or unsure how to start?
Celebrate the season of renewal and the holiday for worker sovereignty with a hands-on introduction to urban foraging! In this 1.5-hour workshop, we’ll explore the principles and ethics of gathering wild foods close to home—focusing on how to do so safely, respectfully, and sustainably. You’ll get an up-close look at a curated selection of edible "weeds" foraged from the immediate area, with guidance on how to identify, harvest, and use them in your own kitchen or apothecary.
Whether you're new to foraging or looking to deepen your practice, this workshop will offer tools for reconnecting with the land, increasing your food security, and nourishing both body and mind. We'll discuss how urban foraging can strengthen your relationship with place, promote resilience in uncertain times, and inspire a more reciprocal connection to the ecosystems we inhabit. Come ready to learn, taste, and reimagine the wild possibilities growing all around you.
Attendance is free and open to all. If you'd like to contribute financially, you can do so through Buy Me a Coffee.
