Sat 20th Jun MID-SUMMER Foraging & Tasting

Description

This mid-summer foraging walk celebrates the abundance of light at this time of year and the edible flowering plants around us. You’ll get to interact in our hedges and coastline in a whole new way. We will gather together to celebrate and learn about nature together; taste, touch, smell, see and explore with our senses the generous diversity of shapes, colours and flavours that our environment provides us.

Level of Walk: Approximately 2 miles, including across sand dunes, concrete paths  (a little on the roadside) and into the nature reserve.

*Each course I have 2 ‘pay what you can places’. If the price inhibits you from attending and means you won’t be able to pay for life’s essentials, please get in touch. Honesty expected, no questions asked.

• Be guided on a 2-3 mile walk, includes footpaths, road and stiles
