The meal will be pre-empted with delicious kelp snacks and home-brewed ale and will be paired with carefully selected South African wines or homemade juices. Along with the knowledge you gain from Lindy, you’ll go home with an info booklet with recipes and other interesting facts about seaweed, wild plants and the ecosystems they are found in.  This experience will live with you forever. ‍
