I would like to talk to anyone who has taken up foraging for food, or who is teaching others how to do it. I'm writing about it for The Sun.

The Urban Herb School does field trips on foraging edible plants, they are fairly new, based in Vancouver. I haven't attended any of their classes/workshops yet, if you do, let me know how it was!

hi Chris, Ann mentioned a foraging group to me after Holgar's talk.  i'm super interested so please keep me posted if you hear of anything or begin a group.  i've been surfing the patches of nettles, clover, chickweed & random brasicas i come across.  re: medicinals, if you haven't already done so, i recommend being in touch with Garliq, also on VV, as he does a lot of teaching & has a 5 wk class beginning soon.

Hi Ann and Chris,

I'd be interested in participating in such a group. Unfortunately I missed Holgar's talk so I'm not infomed but would love to be.

Will do Chris. Lets see if we can't get some more people interested. I've got too much on my VV plate right now to take a primary lead roll and will see if I can find someone who's willing to step up.

Hi Chris

We just ran a foraging walk for the Dunbar Salmonberry Days festival. Holgar Laered led the walk around UBC farm. It was an amazing talk. I filled pages of my notebook.

As a result of the talk, a couple of us have decided we'd like to start a foraging group. I've also been out harvesting elderberry flowers and have made a cordial. We've been picking dandelion greens and flowers and will be making coffee and syrup.

What village are you in?

Ann
