Wild Food Foraging Walk and Talk with Stories of Change- The Exhibition

Rinville Park, Marshallspark, Oranmore

Description

Ever wanted to know more about our wild food plants? Come join me, Olwyn Williams, on this Foraging Walk and Talk to meet some common plants and learn how to simply, safely and respectfully incorporate them into your diet. We will cover basic plant identification, plant habitats and ecological connections as well as food and medicine uses for the plants. Perhaps you will even change your perspective on our so-called 'weeds'! There will be some tasters at the end of the walk too.

Find me online here.

This workshop is part of Stories of Change -The Exhibition event held in Rinville Park in Oranmore. Your ticket has been funded by the project and includes access to the full day of celebrations including food, music, climate conversations, stories and solutions.
What is Stories of Change?

Stories of Change is an intergenerational creative roadshow travelling to four counties that will showcase local solutions to the climate crisis through photography, storytelling and food. The aim of the project is to flip the climate narrative from doom and destruction to positivity and hope and to celebrate community climate action.
The Exhibition will showcase portrait photos and stories of Galway's community changemakers and include the launch of 'The Characters of Stories of Change', a short video featuring the forty community changemakers interviewed in Donegal, Galway, Clare and Kerry. The event also includes a local, seasonal feast created by William from Wildstands, workshops, stalls, climate conversations and live entertainment.

Stories of Change is one of 15 projects funded by The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. You can find out about the other successful projects at:
