About The Event
Join Vicky from The Little Foragers Kitchen and spend an afternoon foraging, relaxing and reconnecting with Nature.
People are always so surprised to learn that there are just as many wild
plants growing feral in the city as in the countryside. In fact, sometimes
there’s more opportunity in urban settings as there are not only native
plants, but cultivated garden escapees and also our city parks, with
Glasgow boasting some truly beautiful urban “wild spaces”
Our urban forage will start at Soulfood Café on Sauchiehall Street. We
will head over to Kelvingrove Park where we will take a leisurely stroll
around the pond and meet a variety of fresh greens, edible flowers and
herbs for delicious foods and teas.
We will meet some of the most powerful medicinal plants in the world
and some of our native psychotropics, all hiding in plain sight.
As we wander around this beautiful city space, we will explore some of
the rich folklore that our ancestors have woven across time around our
green friends.
We shall finish our walk at Soulfood kitchen, where we can enjoy a drink
and a piece of cake.
You will receive an email listing all the plants we identified and
discussed during the walk, along with some recipes for you to try at
home.
This a family friendly event and children under 12yrs are free. Each
child must be accompanied by an adult and must have a ticket. Child
places are limited to two per adult.
This event will only take place subject to a minimum number of
attendees.
Vicky Manning is the founder of The Little Foragers Kitchen and a
member of The Association of Foragers. Our ancestors depended on
Nature to supply them with food, medicine and shelter. Their
supermarket, pharmacy and equivalent of B & Q was literally right
outside their house. Vicky is passionate about helping people of all ages
to reconnect with this lost knowledge, in an accessible and fun way.
