Spring Harvest: Eat Well, Feel Great

Spring is a time of fresh growth and revitalised energy with an abundance of garden greens offering a rich diversity of flavours and nutrients.

Join plant-based chef Thom Gabites for a workshop exploring how eating more plants and tuning into the seasons can support your health and the environment... and save you money.

We’ll explore practical ways to bring more plant-based meals into your life, and simple methods to elevate everyday ingredients into gourmet flavours, with just a bit of care and intention.

You’ll also get hands-on in the EcoMatters Organic Teaching Garden, harvesting seasonal greens and learning how to make the most of what’s growing.

We’ll then turn our harvest into a delicious spring soup to share.

What you’ll learn:

• How to layer flavours to create a deep flavour base

• Simple ways to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet

• How eating with the seasons can support energy and wellbeing

• The benefits of eating more plants for people and planet

• Tips for using garden greens and seasonal ingredients

• How to make a nourishing vege stock and delicious soup from scratch

Please bring: A water bottle and practical shoes suitable for harvesting in the garden.

NB. This workshop is best suited for ages 14+

Younger children are welcome when accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Please note the session includes an in-depth talk on plant-based eating, which is geared toward an older audience.
