I lead guided wild food and nature tours in UK and France; previously for The canal and riverside trust, The RHS, Councils, charities, park groups, privately and Hither Green Community Association. Every year I develop new maps and now have an organic foraging clothing line launching to support my sustainable fashion principles. It features my handmade dandelion designs.
We will discuss medicinal uses, benefits, folklore, traditional wisdom and recipes. With added importance of harvesting within the legal framework, in a safe and sustainable manner.
I enjoy walking in nature reserves and other areas of natural beauty to share the wild ecology lessons with all ages and groups.
