HI. Below is a list of training, foraging and nature connection courses I am leading this year.

The courses in light green are courses I am running through the foraging courses site run by Robin Harford. Please phone Robin Harford on 07733 547537 to make a booking for these courses, or place them online though his site.

The events I am teaching at/working on are in  blue (family or adult courses) and plum (training). To make a booking for these you will need to follow the link in the details of each course.

I will add to this page as more courses come into my diary. I hope to see you on one of them.

Give me a call on 07980 601830 if you want to know any more about any of the courses

All the best

The day starts at Budleigh Salterton, where you will be shown and gather the gourmet wild edible plants of the estuary. Food that is served on Michelin star dining tables around Britain. Plants that will have you purring with delight as the exquisite tastes and textures burst onto your taste buds. This is really wild food, gourmet food, celebratory food… the ultimate slow food.
