The famed wild-food harvesting ambassador will host a group gathering session of wild ingredients in the institute\u2019s gardens, with participants choosing and picking wild foods which they get to take home. For lunch Rusch will share a meal with participants, prepared by the Green Caf\u00e9 at the institute, featuring ingredients collected in the gathering session, to showcase the variety, versatility and tastiness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the experience she will draw attention to some of her collaborative research and practice-based projects that are helping to fill the gaps that act as barriers to wider regenerative engagement with the local indigenous edibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
