Ever walked along the coastline and wondered about all of those plants and seaweeds? Are they edible? How do you harvest them? How do you positively identify them? Are you allowed to collect them?

Join Sydney forager Diego Bonetto on a 2.5 hour workshop learning the what, where and how of collecting a meal from the seashore.

Diego is an edible weeds advocate renowned for his offering of urban foraging workshops. Building on the knowledge acquired while growing up on a farm in Italy, Diego introduces people to the ever-present food and medicine plants that surround us. He collaborates extensively with chefs, herbalists, environmentalists and cultural workers promoting a new understanding of what the environment has to offer. 

Meet at South Maroubra Surf Lifesaving Club. Max 20 people.
