Foraging
​
Foraging is perfect if you are keen to feel more grounded and connected to the natural
world. This course aims to educate you so that you can forage safely, identifying plants
around you so you know which ones are safe for consumption and which should be avoided.
Once we had collected the ingredients, we will then look at what we can create using each of them. This could be a culinary delight such as a wild pesto or elderberry syrup, or it could be creating a herbal balm. What we create will of course, be seasonal and depend on what plants we find during our
foraging.
The full foraging mini course is £99 per couple, so this is the perfect treat for you and your partner, best friend, sibling etc. Sessions last 4 - 5 hours.
Simple foraging meets also happen periodically, just £15 for a private taught lesson 2 hrs. Forest forest bathes and immersion £10 or free events. All types of foraging events for all pockets!
