Leo's approach to foraging is engaging, fun, and informative not only teaching how to identify but digging into the history, science and nutrition of wild food.
🌿 What to expect
Step into spring and discover the wide array of fresh nutritious greens, vibrant flowers and edible trees!
Learn how to identify the plants, trees and fungi of Sussex and discover what they taste like with a selection of seasonal wild tasters.
You will get recipes, history lessons and both medicinal and nutritional profiles for all our wild finds on a case by case basis.
All our walks provide you a follow up email with all the key points from the day including identification and nutrition.
🌿 Location
Stanmer park is a beautiful open grassland, mixed woodland nature reserve noted for its abundance of plants and fungi.
The name Stanmer is from the Anglo Saxon for ‘Stoney Pond’ and the park has evidence of human habitation during the neolithic period some 6000 years ago!
Much of Leo’s early foraging was done here making it a very special place to teach.
🌿 What to bring
The rain won’t stop us walking! Please check the weather and dress appropriately!
Bring water for the day and snacks if you feel you will need them, there will be tasters but not a full lunch course.
We encourage taking notes but you will receive a follow up email after the course so its not essential.
🌿 How the day will run
Arrival time is 9:45am. The exact location will be in your email after booking.
