Harvest Foraging Taster Walks with Tellus Mater

Ever Wondered What You’re Walking Past? Whether you're a nature lover, foodie, or just curious about what’s hiding in the hedgerows, this is your chance to see the world with new eyes—and taste it, too.

  • Booking essential

Have you ever foraged for delicious wild foods before? Would you like to learn what is in season that can be foraged safely? This short walk will give you a basic introduction to foraging. Spaces are limited, so grab your spot and start your wild food adventure today!

As part of our Harvest events programme, book a short foraging walk with local expert Lizzy to seek hedgerow and woodland edible treats that are full of surprising flavours!

We will be looking for wild fruits, herbs, mushrooms and plants that are all around us and teaching you key identification features/preferred habitats to give a good introduction to foraging for your own wild food journey going forwards.

We will be covering good foraging practice, sustainability, preservation techniques and what species to look out for in the coming months after your foraging session with us.

You may wish to bring a camera, notepaper, something to drink as we walk and ensure you have sturdy comfortable footwear/weather appropriate clothing for the wander.

27 and 28 September Adults £10, Children aged 5-18 £2. Normal admission or membership is required to visit the property after this session.

Booking in advance essential.
