Purslane Branch, Cucumbers, Pumpkin Seeds

From a young age my son, Kobe, has joined me on foraging trips. When he was in kindergarten we would leave the house at 7.30 am and pick for an hour before I dropped him off. Purslane is one of his favourite plants because it has a mild flavour and juicy leaves. He’d go off to kinder and tell his friends about what he’d picked with Dad — I’m hoping my children will have a greater appreciation for the natural world through these brief interactions that are a part of their lives.
