WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This course is designed for children between ages 5 – 12. Children younger than age 7 need to be accompanied by an adult.

COURSE OUTLINE:

The course starts with a gentle walk to pick a few key easily identifiable wild foods and garden herbs & flowers such as nettles, blackberries, wild garlic, elderflowers, wild strawberries, sorrel, nasturtium flowers, roses, crab apples & elderberries.
