DURBAN!

I am coming to serve a little extra wildness at The Gorgeous Green House in Durban North next month. Jane Troughton's beautiful eco-home will be known to many, but for those who have not visited before, she will do a little tour of the house and garden after lunch. See video link in comments.

This will be memorable - all the pickles, feral leaves, African ingredients, love and colour you expect from my lunches.

Space is limited, so let me know asap to set you a place. by @plantabundance

On the 18th of November, I will be talking about rewilding our lives - eating more uncultivated foods, letting our gardens go a little, seeking simpler wilder ways of being on the Earth - at a lovely space called @theplacekzn in Salt Rock.

After the conversation, refreshments will be on sale. Keen to join us? Let Mish know on 083 775 8537. by @plantabundance

While delivering books to iconic Clarke's Bookshop in the city centre this morning, we found a parking place! What a feat in Long Street. We simply had to grab it and have a little impromptu wander.

First through the gorgeous mosaic roofed public way of the TENONV building developed by @blokliving . Voila! there was the National Library and the Company Gardens with the ever present mountain. Then, much to my delight, a tiny side street revealed the @museumofdogs_ . Imagine? by @plantabundance

Wild Spring Lunch in Rondebosch with @abundantly_by_up
and @lets_gather_by_up

"This was one of the best experiences of my life. I have sat at many tables this year, but this one was wow. The food was the glue that brought us together in one vibe. I thought it might be awkward, but how could it be when we all love weeds, despite our diverse backgrounds?" BUSISIWE by @plantabundance

The thing I like most about Cape Town is the trains. Adventures available just R20 return! I love views of secret bits of the city that many people don't see from the congested roads. by @plantabundance
