Foraging for flavour!

Finders Eaters is all about flavours.
There are so many unique flavours growing on plants all around us that we all know and see everyday.
+
Tasting and smelling plants is a great way to connect to them, help understand their character.

Ice cream is the perfect carrier of flavours.

Hi I'm Mike,
Having an interest in the natural world has enriched my life so much.
I would like to help spark that interest in others.
What's your school's flavour?
As a STEM field based facilitator
I can help teachers and students find out
what botanical flavour
best represents their school.
Is it a plant that's endemic to the area?
Is it a plant growing in abundance
on school grounds?
Is it a plant used historically by iwi or was it planted by early settlers?
Make contact with me to assist your school use PLD hours outside in nature
on a mission to reveal your unique flavour!

An Arborist / forager living on the Kapiti coast of New Zealand hunting unusual plants and mushrooms for a variety of different purposes.
Through my tree work I have gained access to a wide variety of private properties which I use to develop an ever growing database of plant products.
I am interested in promoting native plant products and educating businesses and the general public on the endless possibilities of New Zealand's unique Flora.
