john wright - foraging and wild food course

Your Tutor: John Wright

James and Lea are taking a back seat this month as we let our very special guest tutor take the reins. Back by popular demand, we’re welcoming probably the most well-known name in foraging; John Wright.

John is the author of no less than four River Cottage Handbooks on Hedgerow, Mushrooms, Seashore and Booze. He is also the author of The Forager’s Calendar, which has been a bible to ourselves in learning about wild food.

Not only does John write for the Guardian, he also has strong connections with River Cottage and has made countless TV and radio appearances.

John hosts his own courses in Dorset through Forager’s Calendar. “I am one of those very lucky people who have managed to turn a hobby (chiefly fungus hunting) into a job. Now I spend my time foraging, and encouraging others to forage through my writing, forays and talks. If you think this sounds at all fun then you are quite right.”

We are proud to be welcoming John to lead this workshop and can’t wait for him to share his expertise with you.
