What we'll do
As the hedgerows are bursting full of berries, nuts and seeds, come and learn about the abundance of nature’s medicine chest. Autumn is the time for deep nourishment, building up our stores of nutrients and supporting our immune systems ready for the cold months ahead. Along with the last few wild greens we have such an abundant variety of healing foods and medicines at this time of year. We will gather and fill our baskets together in the morning and make food and medicine around the fire in the afternoon. Alice will talk through the medicinal and nutritional elements of each of the plants as well as giving many recipe suggestions and an email will be sent with some basic botany teaching guides alongside seasonal recipes to help you along on your foraging journey. You will take home a hedgerow tonic to brew and enjoy some wild edible delights cooked over the fire as well as picking up some fire by friction tips.
