About Rachel:
Ever since childhood, nature has been a source of inspiration, adventure, creativity, joy and sanity for me. From family forays to gather blackberries, complete with purple stained tongues, to learning by name coastal plants to place on our precarious family camping table.
I was 21 when my relationship with plants deepened, paving the way to become a forager and guide. Aided by friends and experts, my world changed forever when I realised that ALL the plants around me had uses for food, medicine or fibres for making.
I’ve facilitated groups and individuals in the great outdoors for over 30 years and have taught thousands of people how to forage, use and value plants. From inner city children’s clubs, grow, cook and eat sessions to university campuses, public parks, beaches and footpaths to people’s gardens.
Foraging and plants are the glue that brings together the things that I love; nature, time outdoors, walking, good food, creativity, physical activity and people.
