Out of stock
Join me for a summer forage, looking for greens including members of the carrot family, edible flowers such as rose and elderflower, and medicinal plants including plantain and comfrey. We may also find summer fruiting fungi, depending on the recent weather conditions.
Ambling through the trees and along the lochside we will explore how to make wild food a staple and the benefits of doing so - from the nutritional to the cultural and philosophical. Throughout the morning gather the basic skills required to identify common edibles as well as how to avoid poisonous & inedible lookalikes. Learn how to use foraged food and discover what it is like living on a completely wild diet.
The walk should last ~3 hours with the opportunity to stay a little later to ask chat and ask questions. We will meet outside the visitor centre, where coffee, meals and snacks are available. Suitable for all ages with children welcome - individual or family tickets.
Under 5s are free to attend, and older child tickets are £5.
