“Foraging is the luxury of rediscovery of our true place in nature”
— Mamakan
Mamakan carries the knowledge of her indigenous Scandinavian heritage and combines this with a deep love of New Zealand plants in her capacity as a botanical artist and the founder of Velskov.
Our commitment to sustainability means we are walking lightly on this land and actively working to restore the forest to her natural state.
