Harriet runs foraging walks across the East Devon and Dorset area. These walks cover what you might find in the hedgerow, along the shoreline, in the woods or across the moorland, depending on the time of year.

Spring Foraging Walk (2-2.5 hour) Saturday 18th April

This walk lasts 2 to 2.5 hours, and may go over depending on what we find. Expect to join a guided walk in a beautiful location. We will walk, chat and pick. You will learn from Harriet a comprehensive overview on how to start picking, the ethics and foundation of foraging, safety at the forefront and how to work in reciprocity with nature. You will learn how to work with these plants, techniques, flavours and how they get used in the professional kitchen. Hear old tales of folklore as well as modern fright stories, and all the wild food gossip you could wish for! Harriet loves a good story to share.

 

There is so much to learn about wild plants -  natures pharmacy. Harriet has been open a mission to learn everything that she can about the plants that grow all around us - what started out as a journey to understand flavours that simply weren't available in the supermarket, led to the thrill of the chase - a dopamine hit when you found something, which then went on to lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation for how these plants work with our bodies from a wellbeing, nutritional and medicinal perspective. Harriet has worked closely with many foragers over the years, medical herbalists, and skincare professionals. She can talk to you about not only how to use plants in our food, for our gut health, for our overall health, but she can also speak to you about how to harness these plants in balms and ingredients that go on our skin. 

As part of this walk, you will receive a goodie bag. This will include a handout with essential information, recipes that I have developed over the years with things you can try at home, as well as training notes. You will also receive a pot of one my handmade Wild Balms that I have been developing, a sample of my Violet Leaf face oil and a small pot of my Coastal Magnesium Butter - as well as getting a cup of Hot Wild Chai to enjoy alongside a wild cookie, to keep your energy levels up on the walk! 

The walk costs £65 per person. To book, email the date you want to harriet@robinwylde.com​ and payment will be confirmed via email. The precise location will also be confirmed nearer the time - it will be somewhere between Colyton and Bridport.

Harriet is a member of The Association of Foragers, an international professional foragers association, promoting considerate foraging, nature connection and ecological stewardship through teaching and harvesting wild plants and fungi for use as food, drink and medicine.
