A wild plant and forage walk led by Marie Viljoen. Includes a wild inspired snack.  

Marie Viljoen is the author of Forage, Harvest, Feast - A Wild Inspired Cuisine. Marie approaches foraging from the perspective of a cook, mixologist, and kitchen gardener looking for new ingredients and flavors. Her emphasis is on both weedy or invasive plants, which could easily become commonly eaten and enjoyed vegetables, fruit or herbs, as well as indigenous flora whose unique qualities are unexplored by most cooks.

On forage walks she discusses the do's and don't's of foraging, as well as culinary ideas and techniques for unfamiliar ingredients. All plants - not just edible - are part of the mobile discussion. Marie's goal on each walk is to tune the eye to the green details beneath our feet, so that we see the place where we live with newly appreciative eyes and a botanical sense of context.  Limited to 25 participants.
