Immerse yourself in the natural world and unlock the secrets of wild, edible plants during this enriching workshop. Focused on abundant, delicious, and nutritious edible weeds, you'll leave with a newfound eagerness to forage in your own backyard and neighborhood.

Our journey includes a wander to discover, identify, taste, and discuss freely growing wild edible plants. This immersive, outdoor, multi-sensory learning experience covers:

  • Basic principles of sustainable and ethical foraging and wild harvesting
  • Botanical names of plants and their various common names
  • Confident identification of 10-20 wild plants, including details about lookalikes and plants to avoid
  • Nutritional and medicinal properties of each plant, along with simple home remedies
  • Preparation techniques for maximum nutrition and flavor, with discussions on easy recipes and cooking tips
  • Folklore and history of each plant, offering fascinating and often amusing stories from our ancestors

Feel empowered with the skills and knowledge to deepen your connection to food, enhance local food resilience, and secure your own supply throughout the natural cycles of the seasons. After this workshop, you can skip the supermarket and gather your own wild greens for dinner on the way home.

Commence the experience with a cup of herbal tea, concluding the session with the enjoyment of a delicious snack crafted from seasonally available wild ingredients—ranging from wild salads to weedy pesto, pickled greens, or herb-infused butter, depending on the season.

Class sizes are limited to provide ample space for questions, so secure your spot early to avoid missing out. Upon booking, you'll receive an email with the exact location and further details for the workshop, held in Raumati South, Kapiti, New Zealand.

Please note that no refunds will be issued for a change of mind or personal calendar conflicts. In the event of unfavorable weather, we'll collaboratively determine a new date for the workshop.

Good stuff

I wished it could be even longer to cover more! Felicity is very knowledgeable with a great range of plants growing in her own garden allowing us to get up close and hands on (mind the stinging nettle!)

Kia ora if you are seeking knowledge for identification, nutritional abundance, medicinal purpose of prolific sustainable notoriously dubbed weeds then Fecility can be your guide. In person, online or book guides.
The in person forage enables you to correctly identify, consume and learn.
The books Felicity has created enables you to take that knowledge and continue your journey confidently independently.
Highly recommend.

Highly recommended

I had been asked about foraging at a youth group I help with, it was amazing to find out the nutritional value and medicinal properties of the "weeds" I have been pulling out for years.
Felicity has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and makes the workshops more interesting by sharing background information on the plants.
Book in, you will be amazed

Kapiti Foraging Workshop

Absolutely loved the time spent on this workshop with Felicity - who would have thought weeds would be so interesting, useful and beneficial, well Felicity obviously, but not me until I attended this workshop. I am now obsessed with identifying them when out walking - although my partner is treating my new knowledge with caution ;-)

Wonderful afternoon learning how to forage

Really interesting afternoon, I am much more confident about identifying edible garden plants now. I was surprised to see how many I already have growing in my garden when I got home!
