Discover the Art of Foraging in Nova Scotia. July 5th and July 26th.

There’s something magical about stepping into the wild, basket in hand, eyes peeled for nature’s hidden treasures. Foraging is more than just gathering wild edibles - it’s a dance with the earth, a sensory journey that connects us deeply to the land beneath our feet.

Here in Nova Scotia, the landscape is a generous host, offering a rich tapestry of plants, berries, and mushrooms waiting to be discovered.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to explore the outdoors with a purpose, to taste the wild, and to learn the stories woven into every leaf and root, then you’re in for a treat. Let Jolanta take you on a journey, where every step is a lesson and every find a gift.

Foraging is an ancient practice, but it’s also a modern way to reconnect with nature and nourish ourselves sustainably. This opens up a world of knowledge that goes beyond simply picking wild plants.

You will learn how to identify edible species safely, understand their seasonal cycles, and respect the environment so that the wild spaces remain abundant for generations to come.

You learn to read the landscape like a book, noticing the textures, smells, and colours that signal a plant’s readiness.

We will awaken our senses through forest bathing and meditation, enveloped by the mossy floors of our beautiful forests.

Plus, we will include tips on how to prepare your finds in the kitchen. From wild greens tossed into a fresh salad to fragrant herbs steeped in tea, the culinary possibilities are endless. Foraging is not just about gathering food - it is about cultivating a lifestyle that honours the land and celebrates its gifts.
