Details:
Are you a nature enthusiast but are worried about picking something potentially harmful? Have you begun your foraging journey and want to broaden your knowledge? We hope to help people to forage with confidence. Foraging is a way we can connect with ourselves and with nature. Humans are a part of nature and we have a right to engage with it through the picking of edible and useful mushrooms and plants as our ancestors once did.
During this workshop Brendan will be your guide through the beautiful Markeaton area in Derby, showing you the many different plants, flowers, and fungi that are edible or useful in other ways. He will show you how to correctly identify them, and how to distinguish them from any potentially harmful lookalikes. As well as learning fun facts, you will also gain an understanding of their historical use and how we can bring them into the modern world. After this you will enjoy a three course meal comprising of a starter, a main dish of ramen with a selection of mushrooms and foraged greens, a selection of kombuchas to refresh yourself, and a surprise dessert! (Please contact us with dietary requirements before booking.)
