2.5-Hour Spring Foraging Walk
Preston Park, Brighton
£20pp
Under 13s go free.
Foraging is a basic human right and everyone should have access to it, that’s why we’ve set up the Community Forage, to make an affordable foraging experience for anyone living in the city.
You don’t have to live in the woods to learn how to harvest your own wild food!
Learn to forage with Leo,
The Barefoot Forager.
Leo’s approach to foraging is engaging, fun, and informative. Teaching you how to identify wild food and educating on the history, science and nutrition of our foraged goods.
🌿 What to expect
Spring brings us an abundance of fresh nutritious greens, edible flowers, trees and even some fungi! It’s a time of year foragers save money on grocery bills.
We start our day with a short meet and greet going over the do’s and don’ts of foraging and the laws that surround it, we’ll then move onto our walk.
As we explore we stop at various species of plants, trees and fungi and discuss their uses; culinary, medicinal, historical, chemical and nutritional profiles.
You will get recipes and science based facts on a case by case basis.
Everyone receives a follow up email after the course covering the key finds of the day.
🌿 Location
Preston Park is the largest urban park in the city of Brighton & Hove. Despite being within the city border it’s a fantastic place to learn to identify wild species with a wide range of plants, trees and fungi! Many of these species are to be found in your garden or on your lawn!
🌿 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.
We encourage taking notes but you will receive a follow up email after the course so its not essential.
