Harvest Festival | Foraging 101: Weeds in the City

Join forager and intuitive herbalist Charlotte Gordon for a journey into the world of wild food and urban foraging.

Explore the ‘slow harvest’, foraging invites a new rhythm, one that is more connected to the seasonal shifts of the natural world. This shift creates a new relationship with food, plants and the environment.

During this talk, you’ll discover common edible plants, preserving techniques and gain practical tools to take home. Whether you’re new or have some foraging experience, this talk will encourage you to discover the wild places on your doorstep and how it’s possible to live connected to nature even in the city.

This event is part of the Harvest Festival, a collaboration with The Drop LDN, full of workshops, talks and stalls inviting visitors to discover the diversity of UK-grown food, celebrating little-known crops, plant ‘offcuts’ and the ingenuity of UK growers and chefs in adapting our modern harvest to the sustainability challenges of our time. Festival tickets must be booked separately.
