Foraging walk gift cards are perfect for someone who wants to forage confidently and feed their curiosity for what plants around them can be used as food and medicine.
Some examples of Bristol locations: Conham River Park (BS15), Eastwood Farm (BS4), Leigh Woods (BS8), Greenbank Cemetery (BS5), Narroways (BS2) and more.
These gift cards are for those ready ready to upskill their foraging, plant identification and practical knowledge as they find and make their own wild medicine; a wild sweet syrup, tonic vinegar, infused oil, cream, balm or immune fire cider.
Most workshops take place at Conham River Park (BS15)
What will we learn?
✦ Identification skills
Sharpen your identification skills and build on the knowledge you already have - you know more than you think.
✦ Sensory learning
We’ll be touching, tasting and smelling lots of wild edible plants, learning where they live and how to find them again.
✦ Poisonous plants?
Learn about poisonous plants too so you can feel confident and safe when you’re out foraging on your own.
✦ Take home what you make
Learn different ways to make herbal medicine and how to find and use the wild plants around you to do this.
✦ Debunk myths, learn facts
With misconceptions fully out there, you can leave with knowledge of how to find reliable information.
✦ A fresh perspective
Even if you’ve been to a green space before, we’ll look in places your eyes might not have wandered before.
