About Rerooting the Future

Rerooting the Future is delighted to be able to offer foraging walks to everyone; from individuals or families to all sorts of private groups. The foraging walks are a great way to learn about the wild or weedy edible plants that are around us, they are great for spending time outdoors.

I have a wonderful site in north Tipperary that is perfect for hosting bespoke events for up to a maximum of 12 people.

Community groups can also engage my services; talks, discussions and demonstrations are available for a number of different topics including recycling and low-waste living.

About Zaneta

Hi, my name is Zaneta Wright, I own and run Rerooting the Future and teach most of the workshops and classes offered here. I am passionate about nature, health, sustainability and community. I enjoy leading foraging walks and sharing the non-toxic, low waste and wallet-friendly Home Economics skills that I have acquired over the years.

My life started following a non-traditional trajectory once I graduated. I travelled. volunteered, WWOOFed and learned some traditional skills and gained an education in Permaculture. It was on reflection that I realised that Permacultural thinking entered my life early and thanks to my mom who had many clever, waste reducing ways of running the household efficiently. I am blessed in that she shared that knowledge and the thought patterns behind it with me from a young age.

My qualifications include an honours degree in Biology from Maynooth University, where I mainly took human immunity and plant biology modules; a Post Grad course in Environmental Sustainability and two Permaculture Design Certificates. I have participated in a number of workshops to do with facilitation, mentoring and new patterns for collaboration. I studied Pilates at NTC and received an advanced diploma in Pilates matwork.

I sporadically blog about a diverse range of topics, from harvesting and preparing foraged plants, my kitchen experiments, fermentations and recipes for homemade cleaning supplies.

A portion of my time is now dedicated to minding some Belted Galloway cattle and trying to enhance biodiversity on a large site on the other side of our hill. In my downtime, I can often be found at home, sometimes knitting, sewing, experimenting with natural dye-stuffs, messing about in the garden or wandering the hedgerows in search of wild edibles. Lately also I have been working on a cow hide.
