Join us in Horsham Park for a walk and talk about the variety of wild foods - plants and fungi that can be found and foraged in the Springtime.
This interactive event is perfect for anyone interested in wild food, foraging & the natural world in general.
You will learn how to identify plenty of different wild foods, the resources that are available to you, and give you confidence to start in the world of foraging.
You will also learn the various uses wild foods may have, preparation, cooking and preservation advice plus the dangerous lookalikes to watch out for.
The walk will be primarily focused on multiple plants including their flowers, seeds, fruit and leaves.
There may be some fungi at this time of year but if you are specifically interested in Fungi please ask.
Limited to small groups only.
