We live in the Garden of Eden
Yes, we do! The United Kingdom is one of the most beautiful & bountiful lands in the world... trust me, I know! Many people don't see the beauty that surrounds them, but England is one huge garden, and it grows every plant you need to be well, and eat well!

This garden we live in contains a vast amount of medicinal plants that grow all around us. Not just out in the far off countryside but in the cities and towns, the cracks of the pavement, and in your very own garden! Let’s talk about the food and healthy herbs that are right under our feet!

Learning the Basics of Foraging
Learning about all the healthy treats growing all around you is Fun AND Good for You
Let me take your group out for a walk, and along the way, I’ll show you what’s growing all around you. We will focus on basic foraging skills, learning to identify easy to recognize plants and talk about what they are good for, and what’s the best way to pick them. One of my main focuses is showing people the medicine that grows all around them!! I will also show you what NOT to pick as well. I love taking people walking through a local park, or out in the countryside- the choice is yours!
…and foraging is not just for adults! I love working with kids and specifically with home education groups. The kids will learn all sorts of new and wonderful plants and what to do with them, AND will learn about what plants we do NOT touch, and why.

I promise I don’t bite! And my prices are very reasonable. I work by donation: Each person/family pays what they are able to pay for their learning experience.
We charge a £25 booking fee for anywhere in a 30 minute travel time radius from us (West Bromwich), £50 for 60 minute travel time radius, and we can negotiate special rates for areas farther out.
I firmly believe that no one should be left behind just because they can’t afford to learn!
We love working with Home Educating Groups!!
We can plan our outing according to the needs of your group- nice & easy going for children and those with mobility issues…. or we can climb and scramble around hillsides and ravines. The choice is up to you!
Teaching & Foraging are two of my passions. I love to meet new people and to share the knowledge I have gathered over several decades of wandering among the flowers & trees.
