As well as plants from our local area, we'll also look at native plants and food sources from further afield in Australia, from the more tropical areas to the spices and food sources inland.

In this fun, hands on workshop you will learn:

How to Identify Indigenous plants
Nutritional benefits
How to harvest them sustainably
Where they can be sourced in the Melbourne & regional areas
