There is a feast of flavour out there! Keen to explore?
Nikki Brighton is wild about weeds. A writer, activist, and locavore, she is well known in the Midlands for her passion for the environment, community, rewilding, and local living.
Nikki’s immersive experiences focus on finding and tasting weeds in gardens and public spaces. She knows all the spots to find wild food – and where to source the best local ingredients in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. With Nikki as your guide, you will learn to identify various delicious edibles and surprise your palate while foraging for free food.
“The deliberate erasure of our knowledge is a great calamity. In this bountiful part of the world, nobody should be poor or hungry. Your workshops contribute to restoring our food memories.”
