Foraging Evening Walkabouts – Spring 22
During Spring, Summer and Autumn we will be holding a few informal foraging workshops on mild evenings and the first will be Wednesday 9 November 2022. Each season brings a multitude of different foraging plants with many self-seeding in gardens and wild places. The key to any foraging is to know your plants – “if you don’t know what it is, don’t eat it” – or “if in doubt, leave it out!”. We will be concentrating on plant identification and sharing knowledge with a few “tasters” at the end. There are a few resources we have developed for past workshops. Unfortunately, we won’t have the Southland foraging guru Maggie with us this time but the information sheets include some of her notes and recipes and recommended reading. You do not need to book for the workshops, just arrive at 6.30pm and park in the 183 Grant Road carpark and pay a koha at the Education Centre at the end of the walk. Future workshops will be advertised a few days before the event and will be planned for fine evenings. Attached is a poster about the event and foraging notes from previous workshops. A list of foraging species will be given out on the night.
