Veld & Sea offers immersive, educational, and engaging experiences, introducing attendees to the wonders of wild food foraging and the art of connecting with the environment.
The journey to Veld & Sea is an adventure filled with picturesque scenery, weaving through mountains and coastal areas.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with warmth and open arms into Roushanna Gray’s world, where they will learn about wild food and the artful connection they can make with nature. Veld & Sea’s glasshouse serves as the classroom for interactive, seasonal workshops, boasting an array of thrifted trinkets, flora, and books, creating an atmosphere that is both soothing and inspiring.
Founded by Roushanna Gray, Veld & Sea is rooted in her family’s history and knowledge passed down through generations. Roushanna initially began her journey into the world of wild food with a tea garden, offering unique wild-flavored tea and treats, such as her famous carrot cake infused with wild mint.
Veld & Sea workshops focus on different aspects of nature depending on the season, teaching coastal foraging in summer, wild land foraging in winter, celebrating the world of flowers in spring and embracing the in-between and imperfect integration of nature in autumn.
The workshops begin with a cup of tea, followed by a display of foraged items that attendees can use to personalize their flavor profiles. As guests learn to identify edible plants and create delicious concoctions, Roushanna emphasizes the importance of being confident that the ingredients are accurately identified and safe to consume.
Sharing a meal together at Veld & Sea is a significant aspect of the experience, evoking a sense of community that is often overlooked in our daily lives.
