Wildcrafting Walk: A Tour of Discovery for Wild Edibles.

Sunday the 15^th of January

10am to 12 noon

$15 per person – Book Online Here!

CERES Environment Park, Corner of Roberts and Stewart Streets Brunswick East 3057.

Learn the art of identifying edible wild foods in this relaxed two hour tour of CERES Environment Park in Brunswick.

Wildcrafting is the ancient art of harvesting valuable,  healing and nutritional greens, herbs, flowers, roots and berries from non cultivated sources. Nature has provided us with a bounty of foods, many of which are commonly found in our backyards, local parks and reserves. Despite this bounty, sadly our modern society has lost much of the knowledge of the world of wildcrafting. The good news is that a small but enthusiastic movement has arisen, and future thinking individuals are actively rediscovering the wisdom of wild foods and reaping the rewards of health and wellbeing.

Would you like to learn which weeds commonly found in your own backyard are some of the most nutritious greens you can eat? Want to save money by sourcing fresh picked wild foods for your plate?

Shanti Portia and Meghan Street host this informative wildcrafting tour around well known CERES environment park and guide you through the knowledge you need to identify dozens of wild plants, from spicy wild mustard to the nutritious and medicinal dandelion.

Take the first step to learning what our great grandparents once knew, and free your mind from the ‘weed’ paradigm.

The tour lasts for approximately two hours and includes the following:

• A written handbook containing information and sketches of some of the most common edible plants.
•  Identification and background information on dozens of edible plants using actual specimens found at CERES and surrounds.
• The opportunity to harvest some of your own edible weeds to take home and prepare.
• A number of living foods recipes using wild edibles as a starter for your wild food recipe collection.
• The medicinal background of many of the plants and the identification of parts used for medicinal purposes.
• Access to wild edible books to browse while on the tour.
