Out of stock
Join me for a riverside forage, searching for wild greens, botanicals and edible flowers. We will be sure to find the carrot family in flower, elderflower and meadowsweet blossoms as well as medicinals such as yarrow and plantain.
Ambling through the trees and alongside the Almond 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. Suitable for all ages with children welcome - individual or family tickets. Accessible via public transport.
We will meet outside the visitor centre at Almondell Country Park. The nearest carpark is Broxburn, and it can be accessed via the Calderwood bus stop in East Calder
Accessible via public transport.
Under 5s are free to attend, and older child tickets are £5.
