Nature School for Grownups - Spring Foraging Journey - Bridgend Farmhouse

🌿 Nature School for Grownups – Spring Foraging Journey (4 Sessions) - Bridgend Farmhouse

A small-group nature-based experience to help you reconnect with the great outdoors, learn practical skills, and enjoy being outside

🌱 What This Is

A 4-week outdoor series designed to help you get to know a handful of common spring plants — through direct experience, not just theory.

Each session is 2 hours and follows a similar rhythm:

• we begin with a simple, low-pressure game to help everyone settle in
• we focus on one seasonal plant (how to identify it, where to find it, how to harvest it safely)
• we work with the plant in a hands-on way (for example: making a ferment, tea, or simple preparation)
• we close with time to reflect, ask questions, and enjoy being outdoors together

Across the 4 weeks, you’ll build familiarity with plants like wild garlic, cleavers, nettles, and willow.

By the end of the series, you’ll:

• feel more confident identifying a small number of edible and useful plants
• have tried a range of simple, practical techniques
• leave with your own notes and preparations from each session

This is beginner-friendly and designed to be welcoming and accessible — no prior experience with foraging or bushcraft is needed.

The sessions work best as a full journey, as each week builds on the last, but single sessions are also available if you’d like to try it out.

👥 Small Group

Sessions are capped at 15 people to keep things relaxed and personal.

Many people come alone — you’ll be welcomed either way.
