Foraging Walks

These guided foraging walks are designed to give you the skills and confidence to bring wild food and wild medicine into your everyday life.

On these walks you will learn:

  • How to identify wild plants, recognise key plant families and distinguish them from poisonous lookalikes

  • The principles of sustainable harvesting that honour both people and planet

  • Seasonal recipes and accessible preserving techniques

  • How to prepare everyday kitchen remedies and explore the relationship between food and ‘medicine,’ exploring plants beyond their physical properties

  • How to develop your own intuitive guidance when working with plants and balancing this with practical tools

  • Each walk includes wild tasters and a wild tea

Foraging is a relational practice connecting you to land, plants, the seasons and the more-than-human world. Foraging has traditionally been passed from person to person through lived experience. These walks combine practical teaching with embodied exercises, inviting you to slow down and encounter the landscape in a new way.

Whether in the city or the countryside, there is an abundance of wild edible and medicinal plants ready to be discovered. By becoming familiar with them, you begin to develop a deeper relationship with the place you call home.

  • "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''

    Private Foraging Walk

  • ''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.''

    Private foraging walk - Kennington Park

  • ''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.''
