Foraging is the ancient practice of gathering wild and native plants, a timeless communion with the earth's natural abundance. It's a journey that leads us back to the roots of our connection with the land. Beyond sustenance, foraging cultivates a profound connection with nature and, in turn, a deeper understanding of ourselves. It invites us to slow down, to listen, and become one with nature.

Book your foraging experience

Join me for a guided foraging walk through the bush and learn about the medicinal seasonal plants growing around you, and how to safely identify and harvest them. You will learn about the traditional uses and therapeutic qualities of the plants, and be provided with practical applications of how to use the plants in your daily life, as food and medicine.
Depending on what workshop you book into, we’ll either share a herbal inspired morning tea during the walk (2 hour workshop option - $70) or a herbal inspired lunch (3 hour workshop option - $90). All foraging workshops are currently held in Mt Victoria, Wellington, NZ. Please note: Moderate level of fitness is required as we will be walking through hilly terrain.

Reviews

  • Elle's foraging workshop far exceeded my best expectations. Elle effortlessly passed on very informative knowledge and put all participants at ease . The lunch was amazing and included the plants we had learned about. I want to do another workshop with Elle

  • We did the Foraging course with Elle and her partner, they were both lovely easy to get on with people who made the day fun, interactive and educational. I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this course as it was a gift for someone but I came away very fulfilled, the lunch they put on at the end was absolutely delicious. The entire day was worth every cent. We will certainly revisit again during a different season.
