Seaside foraging with Diego Bonetto

Sydney, New South Wales

Have you ever walked along the coastline and looked at the abundance of plants and seaweed and wondered what they are and if they are edible? How do you harvest them and what do they taste like?

Join Sydney forager and edible weed expert, Diego Bonetto, on a 3-hour workshop learning the what, where and how of collecting a meal from the seashore.

Under Diego’s guidance, you’ll walk from Gordons Bay to Clovelly’s northern headland and learn about the most common edible seaweeds, coastal wild food, and seaside plants – plus their uses from an Indigenous and cosmopolitan perspective. He’ll touch on issues such as legal restrictions, ecology and fragility of ecosystems, stewardship and care for the land and sea.

This informative workshop is designed to empower participants by giving you the chance to meet, touch, smell, and even taste the plants.

We love that this is a family-friendly seaside experience offered between July and March.

Inclusions

  • A 3-hour workshop guided by Diego.
  • A booklet for each participant to take home that details the most common edibles of the Sydney Basin and notes on edible seaweeds.
  • Follow-up information about the plants discussed during the experience.
  • Plant identification services are offered if you are keen to know about a weed from your garden!

Making a difference

  • This experience celebrates migrant and native knowledge, and Diego collaborates extensively with environmentalists and cultural workers to promoting a new understanding of what the environment has to offer.
