Weddin Landcare are very excited to have Diego Bonetto coming to Grenfell in September to share his incredible knowledge on wild edibles.

Join Landcare for a forage where you’ll discover the most common edible and medicinal plants that thrive around Weddin.

This workshop will reveal the abundance of edible plants flourishing at this time of year.

Typical species such as chickweed, dandelion, sowthistle, ironweed, flatweed, farmer's friends and peppercress will be discussed..

You’ll learn local stories of plant resilience, complemented by cultural trivia, migrant perspectives, and native wisdom.

You will explore the crucial role weeds play in repairing and enriching soil, as well as their uses in food, crafts, and natural remedies.

Most importantly, you will learn how to safely harvest from the urban wild and enhance your diet with essential vitamins and minerals.

This will be held from 2.30pm to 5.30pm on Wednesday 9 September at the Grenfell Men's Shed on West Street.
