Foraging by the river and in the woods

Sat 18th Apr SPRING Foraging & Tasting

This spring foraging walk will enable you to experience the full edible glory of leaves, shoots and spring flowers 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 fields, footpaths, rocks, beach (maybe), down (then up again) slopes and steps.

*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.

Spring foraging course with tasters, what to expect;

  • Be guided on a 2-3 mile walk, includes footpaths, road and stiles
  • Learn to identify up to 8 wild foods, including potential look-a-like plants
