Our native floral kingdom is abundant in
edible and useful plants and trees, many of which are very
well known and commonly seen as weeds. Their many uses were
highly respected by our ancestors in times past, when wild
plants were relied upon for food, medicine and textiles.
This day's course will explore some local, seasonal plants
and their various uses. We will identify and gather some edible
and tasty varieties and look at different ways to prepare and
cook them. The day will leave you with enough knowledge to
sample and harvest a variety of plants in your own days out
in the countryside.
