30 Days of Domei

A daily plant practice of noticing, rooted in the living world.

You already know how to identify plants.

Maybe you can name dozens, hundreds. You know which ones are edible, which are medicinal, which to avoid.

But when was the last time you just sat with one?

Here’s what happens: We turn plants into projects. Things to learn. Problems to solve. Resources to harvest.

We forget they’re neighbours.

This is a 30-day practice in slowing down.

Not learning names. Not memorising families. Not building knowledge.

Just sitting with plants. Watching. Sensing. Being present.

Five minutes a day. That’s it.

What you get.

• 30 daily practices, one for each day
• Simple instructions you can follow anywhere
• Practices that work in your garden, local park, or wild spaces
• No identification required. No plant knowledge needed.

What makes this different.

Most foraging courses teach you to see plants as food. This teaches you to see them as beings.

It’s not about what you can take from plants. It’s about what happens when you stop taking and just pay attention.

These practices come from 35 years of sitting with plants in forests, wild places, and gardens across six continents.

They’re designed to shift something in how you experience the living world around you.

This IS for you if.

• You feel rushed in nature, always trying to identify or achieve something
• You know plant names but want to know plants
• You’re ready to slow down and actually look
• You’re curious about what happens when you approach plants as neighbours, not resources

This is NOT for you if.

You need scientific explanations for why this matters

You want to learn plant identification

You’re looking for foraging locations or harvesting techniques

You don’t have five minutes a day

About your tutor, Robin Harford.

I’ve spent 20 years teaching people how to connect with plants—not through identification or gathering, but through presence.

I’m the author of Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain and Ireland (over 65,000 copies sold). My foraging courses have been recognised by BBC Countryfile as among the best in Britain, and my work has appeared in The Guardian, The Times, and BBC Good Food.

But more than credentials, I bring thousands of hours of quiet time with plants.

This isn’t academic knowledge. It’s lived wisdom, distilled into 30 days of gentle practices.
