Explore wild plants that you can eat in your local patch. Join us for a guided walk through a range of landscapes on the hunt for the best wild foods that summer has to offer. Gain confidence in foraging and learn how to use these wild plants in your own cooking.
To the forager, our woodlands and hedgerows are full of tasty and filling wild food opportunities and the summer season brings us fruits, berries, wild greens, edible flowers and fungi too.

Don’t forget to bring your own basket or bag to grab some wild edibles to take home.
