About A Walk
Foraging wild food, wild medicine and wild stories.! A walk through one of Cardiff’s best kept secrets in the height of summer promises wonderful hedgerow plants and flowers, and evil little bastards too. I can’t guarantee a Dragon but you never know. Then we’ll head to the pub for a drink.
This was a fantastic walk last year, a really nice group and more plants than we could possibly talk about in one day. I almost set fire to my head at one point but that’s another story!
What you’ll learn:
- What you can and cannot eat
- Wild flavours
- Medicinal properties
- Good foraging practice and sustainability
