Hands-On Learning

Roushanna Gray uses food and ecology as a medium to impart knowledge on the rich biodiversity of South Africa’s edible land and seascapes.

Cape Town is a city with no shortage of experiences, for every kind of person. There are some that appeal to the hedonists, such as lavish fine dining dinners or curated wine tastings. And then there are those that offer a unique insight into the Western Cape province’s biodiversity and landscape, such as the coastal foraging experiences hosted by Veld & Sea in Cape Point.

Housed at the Good Hope Gardens Nursery in Cape Point – which focuses on cultivating and protecting plants, flowers and trees indigenous to the majestic Cape Floral Kingdom – Veld & Sea is run by Roushanna Gray, a food artist and forager, who says it was her own curiosity about the edible land and seascapes that fueled her to start these experiences.
