About the event
Nuns Moor Park is a little gem in the West End of Newcastle. This wonderful green space is actually a home to a variety of wild edible and medicinal plants. This time of the year the community orchard is bursting with abundant raspberries, the herbs have started seeding and their edible seeds are potent, full of flavour & medicine. They can be incorporated in such creative and fun ways in our cooking, adding the taste of the wilderness to our meals and the medicinal properties of the local herbs, which keep us healthy and connected to the land.
Nuns Moor Park is very dear to me. I lived right next to it for 7 years and have witnessed the cycles of its wonderful inhabitants numerous times. The wonderful plants there have gifted me with food, medicine, wonder and healing in abundance throughout the different seasons and years.
