Wild Edibles Foraging Workshop with Diego Bonetti

Join wild food expert Diego Bonetto on a stroll around Narara Ecovillage. Learn about the most common edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms living around us. Diego will take you on a fun, immersive walk in nature, hearing local stories of plant resilience woven with cultural trivia, migrant perspectives, and native wisdom.

Diego Bonetto is an environmental educator who teaches the skill of foraging; finding food growing wild. He grew up on a farm in northern Italy and his job was to collect weeds for the family to eat. One of the first plants he learnt was the Dandelion. They would collect it in spring to flush out the winter starchy food from your system. “It’s bitter!” he says. “Some people may find it a bit challenging so mix it up with other greens.” Diego says there isn’t a word for weeds in Italian that has the same negative connotations.
