Calgary’s grassland–foothill transition holds a surprising wealth of wild flavour. From berries to herbs, roots to flowers, this region offers a glimpse into a deeper culinary landscape—right at the edge of the city.
Join your guide for a small-group foraging walk, exploring 15–25 edible wild species, with a strong focus on practical use in the kitchen. Learn how to incorporate wild ingredients into everyday meals: from savoury dishes to desserts, and foraged beverages too.
Whether you're new to foraging or deepening your practice, this walk offers both knowledge and inspiration—with a grounded, respectful approach to land and seasonality.
