For Staller, foraging is a "precious" and "simple" activity that one can do to connect with nature. They can experience a sense of mindfulness from gathering together, looking for food and then cooking the bounty, she said. "We are returning to the most basic part of being a human, which is eating food and celebrating it," Staller said. "It's a lost artform."
We want every child to understand that food begins in the soil not on a supermarket shelf, the charity's founder Stephanie Slater explained. There's no better way to bring that to life than giving children the chance to grow their own fruit and vegetables at school.
