Spring Harvest: Eat Well, Feel Great

Spring is a time of fresh growth and revitalised energy with an abundance of garden greens offering a rich diversity of flavours and nutrients. Join plant-based chef Thom Gabites for a workshop exploring how eating more plants and tuning into the seasons can support your health and the environment... and save you money. We’ll explore practical ways to bring more plant-based meals into your life, and simple methods to elevate everyday ingredients into gourmet flavours, with just a bit of care and intention. You’ll also get hands-on in the EcoMatters Organic Teaching Garden, harvesting seasonal greens and learning how to make the most of what’s growing. We’ll then turn our harvest into a delicious spring soup to share. What you’ll learn: • How to layer flavours to create a deep flavour base • Simple ways to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet • How eating with the seasons can support energy and wellbeing • The benefits of eating more plants for people and planet • Tips for using garden greens and seasonal ingredients • How to make a nourishing vege stock and delicious soup from scratch Please bring: A water bottle and practical shoes suitable for harvesting in the garden.
