Join us for a Forage & Preserve making workshop on Saturday 20th September. This is a hands-on workshop where you’ll explore the edible urban abundance growing all around us.. Learn how to identify, harvest, and preserve wild plants, while discovering how urban foraging can support both ecological health and creative home cooking.

This 1-hour session includes a guided foraging walk, plant identification, and practical preservation techniques such as pickling and fermenting. You’ll leave with new skills, a jar of something tasty, and a deeper connection to your local landscape.
