Eat Local - Foraging and Wild Food Taster Course Sun 10/08 Christleton, Chester





I am always encouraging people to look at what is growing around them, in your local towns and villages. This course is a foray around the picturesque village of Christleton in Chester where I live. The walk will take in all my local foraging spots and will demonstrate a wide range of grassland, arable and canalside species of edible and medicinal plant, and will demonstrate how much there is within just a small area. The aim of the course is to instill some basic plant ID skills and the means to help you identify further plants yourself, and encourage you to explore your own local bounty. I'd expect to identify 30-40 medicinal and edible species on this walk, and a few poisonous ones to watch out for.

Meeting outside the parish hall in the heart of the village, the Course will take approximately 2-3 hours, and there is an excellent pub (The Ring O' Bells) in Christleton if you wish to get a drink afterwards (they book up for lunches so if you are planning on eating after i'd recommend booking a table.)
Any questions or special requests please ask.
