Learning the Basics of Foraging
Learning about all the healthy treats growing all around you is Fun AND Good for You
Let me take your group out for a walk, and along the way, I’ll show you what’s growing all around you. We will focus on basic foraging skills, learning to identify easy to recognize plants and talk about what they are good for, and what’s the best way to pick them. I will show you what NOT to pick as well. I love taking people walking through a local park, or out in the countryside- the choice is yours!
…and foraging is not just for adults! I love working with kids and specifically with home education groups. The kids will learns all sorts of new and wonderful plants and what to do with them, AND will learn about what plants we do NOT touch, and why.
We are based in the West Midlands....
But we are willing to travel to other areas of the UK, and arrangements can be made for several groups over a day or two.

I promise we don’t bite! And our prices are very reasonable £15 per person or £25 per family, and can set up on a sliding scale according to the needs of your family or group, and how far away you are.
Foraging for Food is a wonderful thing, especially in todays current economic depression. While we always talk about the food growing abundantly around us, my primary focus is talking about the natural healing abilities of the various plants and trees that we’ll be showing you.

We can plan our outing according to the needs of your group- nice & easy going for children and those with mobility issues…. or we can climb and scramble around hillsides and ravines. The choice is up to you!
Teaching & Foraging are two of my passions. I love to meet new people and to share the knowledge I have gathered over several decades of wandering among the flowers & trees.
