Description

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Anyone wishing to discover the wild foods on our doorstep in West Cornwall.  The walks will take you to footpaths, bridleways, woodland and seashore in Penwith.  Locations to be confirmed.  Come alone or with a group of friends or book Caroline privately for your group (up to 20 people).

COURSE OUTLINE:

• • Caroline will guide you for two to three hours showing you the seasonal edible and medicinal plants flourishing in the landscape.
  • You will be shown how to forage safely and legally.  All the pitfalls you may encounter will be discussed and some of the deadly poisonous lookalike plants will be covered.
  • The course is run with an emphasis on bringing wild food into your daily diet, in realistic ways, for improving your nutrition, your immune system and to give you a great sense of well being and an improvement in your mental health.
  • The course will also include some wildlife commentary, historical anecdotes and cheffy tips for including the wild ingredients in your dishes at home.
  • The foraging walks can be physically challenging as we often go to the coast and walk some of the coast path. If you have any concerns about your physical health and ability to cope with the walks please check with us prior to booking.  Walks can be tailored to suit the abilities of the group.
