Foraging
Learning what is safe to forage especially when everyone thinks of it as weeds and making teas, soups & adding extra vitamins to your diet is fun, safe and brings nature to life!!
Great lessons & experiences can be achieved by foraging in your own park, school grounds, woodland or allotment.
There are simple rules to learn – Identification, Environment & Knowledge
