Freya, our guide for this experience, is renowned as the ultimate forager and a true master of the natural world. With an innate connection to the countryside, Freya's keen eye and acute senses enable her to spot hidden flora, fauna, and edible treasures that elude most others. Her knowledge of plants, mushrooms, and herbs is encyclopedic, and she can identify even the rarest species with confidence. Freya's foraging prowess not only provides her with sustenance, but also fuels her passion for sharing her discoveries with others, leading workshops like this to impart her wisdom.
We'll finish our walk around Winchester with a wild snack preprepared by Freya. This could be a cup of wild soup with foraged garnishes, a hunk of homemade sourdough with some wild pesto, or even a slice of cake!
The walk will be slow-paced. Please wear weather appropriate clothes, sturdy shoes and feel free to bring a notebook or smartphone/camera to help you remember all the information!
There are toilet facilities in Abbey Gardens at the beginning and end of the walk.
"I had no idea that there were so many edible plants growing along the pavements and footpaths of the city. What an eye-opener!"
