Foraging Walks

Becoming familiar with the plants that grow on your doorstep is an opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with the place we call home. In these walks we will discuss how to include wild food and wild medicine in our everyday life, including recipes, techniques for preserving, natural crafts and the relationship between food and ‘medicine’.

These walks are a blend of information sharing and embodied exercises to invite you to walk through a landscape in a new way. Often we escape to the countryside to feel nature - it is possible to receive this in the city once we slow down and open our perception. These walks will support you to identify wild plants safely, learn good foraging practices that honour people and planet so you leave feeling confident and open your awareness to the magic of the plant world wherever you are along your green plant path.

March 17th
Mile End Park,
2 - 4.30pm

The first foraging walk of the year! There will be an abundance of fresh green leaves and flowers beginning to bloom. The focus with all these walks is a balance between information sharing, teaching you the skills to feel confident in your own foraging practice and to leave having learnt new plants, new ways of using them and begin to open up your intuition when meeting plants.

  • "We had such a great time and would 100% recommend - Charlotte was super knowledgeable and made it really enjoyable. Thank you so much!"

    Charlotte Phillips - Mile End Park Foraging Walk

  • ''I couldn't have hoped for a more lucid guide to local plants and lore than Charlotte Gordon. That Charlotte does not pretend to know it all is a mark of the considerable depth of her knowledge both practical and theoretical. Highly recommended''

    David - Foraging Walk at Horsenden Farm

  • ''Charlotte did a really interesting workshop and felt it was safe to try the flowers and plants she said we could touch and taste. I felt very calm and energised after her workshop was done; I was very tired all day before the workshop, but had my energy at the end of it''

  • ''I really enjoyed it and was especially interested in the plants that were for medicinal purposes. Charlotte was great and her knowledge that she shared was great, she was so comfortable. I will certainly look at Kennington park in a different and interesting way from now.''

  • ''It was wonderful. Charlotte led us brilliantly and I was able to take much from the walk and talk that we’ll be able to use in developing the garden at Art4Space.''
