There will be abundant spring greens such as nettle, cleavers and wild garlic to be foraged. We will spend time walking on the land attuning into what is going on in late spring, what is growing, what plants are you drawn to, what properties does it have?! Talking about incorporating wild foods in your diet and discussing the benefits of living in rhythm with the seasons. We will cook on the fire and share food as part of the day!
