Foraging Walk, Talk & Tasters

Journey through the garden sampling a selection of wild edibles

Join expert forager Emma Gunn, author of Never Mind the Burdocks and River Cottage forager, for an enthusiastic, fun and informative talk, followed by a walk and talk around the garden to explore the abundance of natural habitats and edibles around you, while sampling a range of pre-made, plant-based edibles.

Learn about how to use them, recipes to create and their healing properties, along with how to identify toxic lookalikes and how to forage from nature sustainably.

The walk will finish at the beach, where there will be some more foraged snacks to try along with a complimentary herbal tea. You’ll also have the chance to question Emma about all things harvesting and eating from the wild.

The engaging talk will explore the pivotal moments where plants played a central role in Emma’s life, from early experiences with wild food to working for River Cottage. With stories of foraging, designing, and nurturing plant life in some of the most fascinating environments, Emma will share her unique perspective on the enduring connection between people and plants.
