Foraging walk and food mapping with Kayle Brandon

During summer and autumn of 2021 local residents and community groups joined artist Kayle Brandon and herbalist Chris Roe on a series of neighbourhood creative explorations. Participants mapped the edible and medicinal plants living in the surrounding area and learned about their uses.

These explorations and workshops influenced a new tree planting plan and the creation of a local food map brass plaque which will be sited in the local park. Residents and visitors can take rubbings from the plaque to help them explore the native local food species for generations to come.
