Foraging & Preserving (Spring weekend)
Tutored by Paul Rose & Sue Holland
 
As part of the growing movement to eat locally-produced food, join us to explore what we can safely forage in the hedgerows and fields around us. Then, we'll experiment with different ways to prepare and preserve these foods. Edible plant identification, cordial, birch-tapping, jams, salads, smoking, breads, herbal teas & tinctures might be in the mix. Take some samples home with you! The foraging will be led by bush-craft and survival trainer Paul Rose and the preserving will be led by botanist Sue Holland.
