Forage To Feast At The Gang Gang Gallery
December 1 @ 11:00 am - 2:30 pm
Come and celebrate the summer bounty in beautiful Lithgow, surrounded by nature and art in this two part wild food session.
Learn how to identify, harvest then feast on edible wild food plants with environmental educator Diego Bonetto and stylist, cook and weed convert Marnee Fox who together are Forage to Feast.
You will take a walk with Diego and discover the abundance of wild edibles to be found underfoot. Woven with migrant stories & sustainable tips, you will discover ways to safely harvest wild ingredients and enrich your diet with vitamins and minerals. You will then sit down, surrounded by gorgeous art in the inspiring Gang Gang Gallery, to a wild food degustation presented by Marnee. Limited tickets available to ensure the best experience for all, so be quick.
The foraging tour with Diego will begin at 11am followed by a sit down wild food degustation in the gallery with Marnee.

– Learn to positively identify up to 15 common edible plants while taking a leisurely yet informative stroll with Diego Bonetto through the streets and green spaces surrounding the gallery.
– Discover ways to safely harvest from the urban ‘wild’ and have your mind blown at just how much food and medicine surrounds us in everyday settings.
