wild food walk

location: Totnes

Join us for a walk, foraging for edible and useful plants. In this short two hour course Dave will take you on a stroll down the river Dart to point out edibles you may walk past every day

Whilst we teach very practical knowledge on our forages we do this in a relaxed atmosphere, ensuring that you learn a lot, but also have a really good time. We help you to identify plants that you might see every day and wonder if they are edible or what other uses they may have. Every plant tells a bit of a story and it is this story that helps you remember what the plant can be used for.

The foraging walks are ideal for everyone - first-time foragers looking for that extra bit of confidence or experienced foragers looking to increase their repertoire of plant knowledge.

The course is conducted by Dave Hamilton of the wonderful Selfsufficientish website, author of the Selfsufficientish Bible, and forager for the Eden Project.

Sensible walking shoes/boots are strongly advisable. Many people also benefit from bringing waterproof clothing or an umbrella, notepad and camera.
