Learners will find out where their ingredients are sourced from in a truely unique farm to fork experience in the Organic Centre.
Course description:
Thien will take you on a guided walk through the Organic Centres garden, exploring the plants and herbs that are in season. During this "hungry gap" period, when fresh produce is limited, he'll focus on harvesting seasonal vegetables and foraging for wild herbs that are abundant in nature.
By the end of the course, young participants will have learned practical skills in seasonal cooking, foraging, and crafting delicious dishes from the garden’s offerings.
