A bit about Bronwen - Between 2014 and 2018, Bronwen was known for her mushroom hunting and foraging of other wild edibles, which she sold to restaurants, private clients and markets in Vancouver. Although she has since switched professions to clothing design, she still deeply values getting out into the forest during mushroom season. She cherishes the experience, not just the harvest, but also the opportunity to connect with others and continue learning about the diverse organisms she encounters.
