Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging. Would definitely do it again perhaps in the Autumn.
Often arriving with no or low expectations is the best way to experience something new but with Leah's natural charm, her easy wit and her ability to bring the subject matter to life (whether through historical reference, religious or myth and folklore) the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Foraging, for someone who would describe themselves as only just slightly more than novice, is a tricky subject in the UK. Leah brought so much to the session - just not many steps!
I had a great time this weekend and learned heaps from Leah about different mushrooms, wild herbs and berries that can be foraged locally at this time of year - plus we got to munch as we went on things I would never have normally noticed! Would love to come again at a different time of year and see what seasonal bits to look out for in the Spring or Summer.

Leah has incredible knowledge about foraging!
Relaxed, friendly tour packed with incredible, detailed information about the plants and fungi found and how best to forage. Presented in a way you could relate to and remember. Opportunity to handle/taste plants found; Safety, risks and benefits of the various plants and fungi highlighted and how to pick and prepare.
Thoroughly recommend this tour, the leader was charming, engaging and very well informed.
Really informative and fun. Cooked something that evening with foraged stuff. Delicious
Absolutely brilliant experience, Leah is very knowledgeable and extremely clear in explaining all things foraging, the time went by so quickly (always a good sign) and I am looking forward to this autumn mushrooms foraging experience with Leah!
