What if the food you need is all around you, waiting to be discovered?

Join Mo Wilde, forager and medical herbalist who lives in a self-built wooden house with an organic teaching garden in West Lothian, as she talks about her love of plants and medicinal species and the abundance of natural treasures to be found in Scotland's natural larder.

In an era of rising food insecurity and climate crisis, foraging helps us reconnect with lost knowledge. In her talk on her book Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them, Mo will take you on a journey into the world of wild food, exploring the benefits of foraging and offering a deeper connection to the land and the food we eat.

Whether you live in a city or the countryside, an abundance of free food is at your doorstep. Not only is it sustainable, but it’s also packed with nutrients and flavour beyond anything in supermarkets.
