'Weed them out' is a speed dating event where you'll be pulling edible weeds.
Weed Walk Weeds are named because they are unwanted and wild however they are often edible and highly nutritious. You'll take a walk in the field and learn about common edible weeds often found in your own neighbourhood. They can be tasty and make a good source of nutrients to your diet. They are such good growers because they compete with other plants and get the best nutrients from the soil. You'll find they are high in vitamins and minerals. You will discover how to identify edible weeds and tips on safely harvesting them.
Some one-on-one time After a weed walk you'll be in the paddock pulling weeds. You'll have five minutes of one-on-one time with each participant to get to know one another. All participants have a chance to meet. We want you to have the opportunity to find people with common interests, so that means you'll meet everyone attending.
Word on the street tells us that working side by side with your hands busy, takes the pressure off from the awkward first meeting feels.
Meet and mingle For lunch you'll be enjoying the greens of your labour with an edible weed salad and roast veggies grown on the farm. Brew yourself a cup of fresh herbal tea and enjoy the farm surrounds.
Leave a note You are welcome to exchange numbers of people you want to see again. We will also have a 'letter in a jar' system so you can write a note and discreetly pass on a message to someone in the group. We will mail all messages to participants the following day of an event.
Take home your greens Please feel free to bring a bag and take home your fresh nutrient weeds that you've pulled.
