Identifying Poisonous Plants, 27/2/23

If you're hosting activity sessions in wild spaces then this workshop is an essential guide to the most common hazardous plants that you need to know. You will also learn which poisonous plants have edible lookalikes, very handy if you want to be confident in foraging with your groups. Common questions on this subject include: "Can I confuse wild garlic with anything hazardous?"; "Are all red berries dangerous?"; and "I've heard parasol mushrooms give you an upset stomach, is this true?" As you can see, there's a lot of confusion out there. So, let James lay it to rest in this workshop, answering as many of these questions as he can. Although this is a serious subject it will also be fun, discovering the various and deadly ways that these plants have been used historically. But be warned...many of these deathly plants may already be taking root in your very own garden!
