Feasting with the Seasons – Wild Foods of the Seaside & Verges

I walk here daily with my dog, and often swim in the sea. . join me as I gather free gourmet foods. . and pick some for you. Learn to identify the tastiest and most nutritious edible plants, from delicious seaweeds to bright summer berries to the freshest of young spring greens. I will teach you to identify and safely gather wild seeds, leaves, flowers, nuts, fruits, and fungi of the forest, coast & field. . each bespoke forage walk responds to the season, climate, and participants’ interests.
