THE GREEN PATH
Practical Ways to Reconnect to Plants
Beyond identification: deepening your connection with plants.
The Green Path is a special seven-day audio course. It starts where most foraging lessons stop.

This isn't about identifying plants. It's about what comes next: creating a strong, personal bond with the plants you already know.
This is not a plant identification course.
The Green Path is for you if:

  • You already know some plants and want to deepen your relationship.
  • You seek to move beyond the superficial 'supermarket' mentality of foraging.
  • You want to experience plants with your whole body, not just intellect.
  • You are ready to engage with plants as living beings rather than mere resources.
Developing deep plant relationships.
My approach focuses on the connection that occurs after identification:

  • Beyond botanical knowledge: Traditional cultures develop intimate plant relationships without formal taxonomy.
  • Embodied awareness: Learn to shift from head-based recognition to full-body plant connection.
  • Presence practice: Discover how 'sitting with a plant,' as Zen poet Basho said, can shift your perspective.
  • Sensory engagement: Experience plants through all your senses, not only visual identification.
What you'll learn on the Green Path
  • How to move beyond naming and develop a real relationship with plants.
  • How to be present with the ones you already know — and notice what you've missed.
  • How attention deepens into understanding — and how understanding changes you.
  • Plants provide more than food and remedies. They are kin and neighbours and provide a path back to yourself.


This is not about more information.


It's about learning to see and stay with the living world.

What the community is saying.

I found the Green Path incredibly helpful and found the exercise fascinating. I will be doing this with all the plants in the future. It’s given me a new perspective on foraging and on nature. - Kathy Zablotzky

Thank you for the course. It made me actually get out and do what I’ve been meaning to do for years. The bite-size chunks were great, just enough to crack on with. I was checking my email in anticipation. - Emma Baynes

I have found the Green Path class brilliant. I love your down-to-earth style. I am so inspired. - Jenny Crowther

This course is open to anyone with basic plant identification skills. Whether you know a few common plants or are a skilled forager, you are welcome.

The Green Path is about what happens next in your plant journey. It's for anyone who feels there's more to plants than names and uses.
