Sat 7th Mar EARLY SPRING Foraging & Tasting

Description

This early spring foraging walk will enable you to experience the leaves, shoots and early 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.
