Eat Your Neighborhood! Urban Forage for Wild Food
Event description
Join local food adventurer Dick Copeman as he explores the many foods available in our city beyond your front gates. In this tasty workshop you'll enjoy learning about and sampling edible weeds, plus discover the secret fruits of the city. As we ramble over our 2.5 Hectare Farm, Dick will show you that some of the tastiest, nutrient-packed food isn’t found in the supermarket but all around you!
This workshop can be attended by teenagers (12 to 18 years) accompanied by mum, dad or an adult guardian who have also paid to attend the workshop.
